Hi harshmaru, Jaiveer Singh, and others in this thread, can I get your opinion on this please?
Can someone tell me the difference between 'Roles & responsibilities' letter and 'experience' letter.
I only submitted 1 letter for each foreign and Canadian job which was on company letterheads and signed. It had:
1) Employment Duration
2) Employment Designation
3) Duties performed during the course of employment
4) The fact that it was 'full-time'
5) Hours worked per week in each job (>30 hrs per week) in all cases
6) Supervisors Name
7) Business Cards
Cool Salary (inclusive of all benefits)
9) Payslips copies
10) T4 copies
11) Copy of Working Visa for jobs employed while I am in Canada
12) Reference to the parallel job duties as per my NOC (to show that I was genuienly employed in the organizations)
What exactly am I missing here? This thread makes me so nervous.
Thanks for all your replies.
PS - For some reason, I can't type the number eight.
To my understanding the difference between employment letter, roles & responsibility letter & reference letter are as follows:-
Employment letter:- It's a letter you receive from your employer at the time you're given this job (in other words offer letter).
*Printed on company's letterhead only
*Position
*Employee id number (if possible)
*Talking about salary/wages
*Number of weekly hours required
*Roles and Responsibilities assigned to you for this job.
*Travel or no travel required for this job
*Commision/Bonus offered (if applicable)
*Benefits offered by the employer (dental/vacation)
*Nature of job (permanent/temp)
*Duration of employment (if temp/contractual)
*Duration of probation period (usually 3 months)
*Date of this letter should be of a date when you were employed for this position (not current), starting date of employment
*At the end of this letter (last page) your employer/hr manager's signature, full name and position (of the person who signed the letter) MUST & MUST be provided.
*Also you should sign at the end page by writing the word accepted.
Roles & Responsibilities Letter:- This letter simply includes duties assigned to you for this position
*Printed on company's letterhead only
*Salary/Wages info not required
*Benefits info not required
*Starting date of employment is required
*This letter should be of current date (max one month old from the time of submitting your PR application)
*Hours required per week info required
*Travel/ no travel info required for this position
*Reporting manager info should be provided (if you're in a big company or in a big project)
*At the end the person signing this letter, his/her info (job position, full name, contact info)
*Remember one thing very clearly, plz make sure your roles & responsibilities matches with the responsibilities CIC has on their system for that specific position or NOC code.
The responsibilities should never be 100% identical but should more or less talk about the same stuff that CIC has on their system. The CIC officer is not a HR manager and does not prefer scratching his head on your file. He will just look for the keywords in your letter, if the keyword matches then all happy happy, else a red flag... So just simply play with the keywords CIC has on their system for that NOC code.
Now the last thing, The reference letter:- It's a letter that should only talk about everything current (should always be To Whomsoever it May Concern)
*Printed on company's letterhead only
*What position you're in right now
*Nature of employment (permanent,temp contractual) VERY IMP
*Duration of the employment (from starting date, end date or till date)
*Any promotion offered to you during your employment
*Salary/Wages info
*Reporting manager info (full name & position)
*Location of your work [(if you're working in any client's location, or other development centre) (mostly for IT/Accounting guys)]
*Again the date of this letter should not be more than 1 month old and should have full name, position and contact info of the signatory
*The last line of this letter must include (Please do not hesitate to contact us, if you need more info on this at anytime) or something along these lines.
Sorry, If all this info is bit overwhelming for you. My Gf is a HR Manager with BIG 4's, so i bothered her to throw some light on matter.
Have a great weekend ahead.
