Hello folks,
I'm in an annoying situation. I am sitting at 465 and hoping to get an ITA pretty soon under CEC, and hence, I have started gathering my documents. The issue I'm having is that one of my ex employers for whom I worked for 1 year & 4 months (Aug 2015 - Dec 2016) has refused to provide me with a Letter of Employment outlining my job responsibilities. They are telling me that it's not within their policy to provide these letters to employees who no longer work for them.
Please note that I was in fact able to get a perfect letter from them outlining my job responsibilities, benefits, no. of hours worked per week etc back in April 2016, which is obviously outdated at this point. That particular letter was dated April 5th 2016, and at the time, I had only completed 8 months or so on this job. And the letter stated that I had been working for them from "Aug 10, 2015 to present" obviously because at the time I was still working there.
Fast forward to today- the HR personnel's recommendation to me is to provide CIC with that old letter from April 2016 along with an ROE, which will show both my start date (Aug 10, 2015) & end date (Dec 2, 2016) with the company. That way, CIC can get proof of my job responsibilities, benefits, hours worked per week etc from that April 2016 letter, and my duration with the company (Aug 2015 - Dec 2016) will appear on my ROE.
If this is how it has to work, I will be sure to attach all my pay stubs, a letter of explanation and a copy of the email from HR stating that they are not able to give me that letter as I no longer work for the company.
My question is, is it actually going to work if I have to go down this path? Or should I be doing something else to solidify my position?
