    Two reference letters URGENT

    Then wouldn't it be easier for you to include that details in the explanation letter then? I.e. "my direct supervisor is the person who's in charge of my ad hoc duties. If you need to dicuss these details, please contact him directly?"

    Two reference letters URGENT

    Hi everyone, For proof of Canadian education, has anybody submitted only the graduation certificate without anything else (transcript, etc)? I just realized submitting the transcript probably would have been a good idea, but didn't do so in the beginning. I definitely want to find out if...
