Hi guys,
I am sitting on 459 preparing for documents:

I had 6-months experience with a company but with a weird title: Intra/Internet Web Authoring. However, the job is duty is a web developer but I can not find a way for them to put the duty on the reference letter.

(It is a miracle they even gives me a reference letter )

Is there anything I can do (write a letter or something) ?
How do I explain in the document for CIC about the job so that they don't question my credibility? will they reject my application over this?

If your reference letter doesn't clearly specify your job duties, you have a problem.
Did you submit any other supporting documents.

I have asked them to write but they refused.

I am sitting on 459 so preparing documents in advance in case got picked up.

I don't have any supporting documents regarding this job, I am very concerned about this

If the company isn't willing to provide these details, try your immediate supervisor.

If you can't provide anything then you'll have no choice but to take it off your work history.

Do you need this 6 months job in your application to stay at CRS 459?

I do have co-worker still working there do you think it would help if I ask him to write a letter about what did I do there?

Yes! And my application expires in 9 months
I see. Are you outland? these 6 months complete you for 3 years work experience?

In that case you can search in this forum similar cases of how to prove work experience when your company/supervisor refuses to provide a reference letter with all the requirements.

For example: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/my-company-refuses-me-to-give-any-work-experience-certificate.588114/

https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/work-experience-letter-employer-does-not-provide-all-information.528181/

Keep doing research about this. Plenty of people have managed to work their way around this and have gotten PPR

Yes. If you intend to keep it in your work history then you need to get as many documents as you can.
Job duties is arguably the most important piece of information and your reference letter clearly isn't going to cut it.
