When you say that your Company isn't issuing a Reference Letter, do you mean that they aren't issuing ANY letter at all or that they won't issue it in the format that you need? If...

    How to know that completeness (R10) check is done?

    In most cases, a R10 check is done around the same time as your Medical review. So, its very likely that R10 is complete for your application.

    Study visa or PR confusion
