My question, can we use this letter for the proving our expereience in Canada Embassy, or do i have to go again to get the new letter for every program i apply for imigration

As long as your reference letter has all the information required by CIC and you do not want to claim points for your work experience with that employer for the period after you received this existing letter, you may use this same letter as it is still valid and there will not be any expiry date for this letter. This is as per my understanding till date.

Can I use the same reference letter for my current job for ITA which I had previously used to apply for PNP 3 months ago or it has to be more recently dated?

Thank you!

You can use the same letter. You will be able to claim experience only acquired till 3 months ago (as on date of that letter).

I used that because that is the only Canadian experience i claimed and it contain from how long I am wokring in that company so was useful. In addition recent payslip after that was also added by me to prove my exp.

Hi All,

I am working in the same company in Canada for last 3.5 years and I got reference letter last Sep 2014 and right now as per company policy they are not providing new Reference Letter for PR. In this case can I use the same Reference Letter and include the Pay slip till current date to prove my Experience.


Please advise and give your suggestions?


cheers

Clearly, you can use the same and submit recent pay slips to prove continuity of work experience with the same employer.

If the reference letter is from 2011, you will be able to use it to claim experience acquired only till that date. To claim experience gained between 2011 and 2015, you will either need a revised letter dated 2015 (I recommend this) or you can attempt to prove continuous employment from 2011-15 with the same employer using other supporting documentation like performance appraisal letters, salary revision letters, pay stubs etc.
