Hi all,

I've just sent my application and I am just worried about my reference letters.

I've basically wrote the reference letter and my supervisors (frown 2 different jobs) read it and signed it with company letterheads.

So contents in the two letters are the same letter by letter (except for period of work and salary).

Is there any chance this could be a problem?

Thank you for your advise in advance!

Depending on the immigration officer this might raise doubts. There is no way to supervisors from 2 different company can write same letters .

Hi,
If there has been no changes in the category of job that you are in, then it is but natural that the letters would be the same.
It should be not be a problem as long as everything in keeping with the right NOC code, on a letterhead, signed and all details are provided in the letters.
Hope that this helps

Usually more than one companies use a very close/similar template for references.

I would disagree with you here . I dont believe that 2 companies will write a letter word to word . I had letters from 3 companies and all 3 of them were different from each other.

Thank you my friends,

It really helped me a lot.

Hope it doesn't get refused because of that :).
