Employment Letter for Study Permit

[Muskan28]

Hi, I had a question about Employee Letter that's needed for submitting a Study Permit, does my employer need to give me a normal support letter of employment or the letter should be specific and indicate that they are allowing me to go abroad and do my studies? Because most employers don't allow their employees to go away for that long, and mine is one of them. I couldn't find any specific requirements on the IRCC website for this matter. I'm planning to resign when my studies started (if I got the study permit).
PS: I already have TRV but planning on getting a study permit for the May intake. Thanks!

If you are resigning and your employer isn't offering you employment then what is the purpose of the letter. A TRV makes no difference. What country are you applying from because processing can be many months?

Right on the login page it states,

A recent cyberattack has affected a small number of IRCC accounts accessed through GCKey. We locked these accounts to protect them from unauthorized access.

Obviously I will be resigning after getting the study permit as I stated in my comment! my employer surely gives me an employment letter for anyone/or any company/embassy, but will this letter be enough? or they should indicate the exact purpose of the letter that they will allow me to go to Canada and study!!

I know you will be resigning but a letter will only have purpose if they are offering you a job after you complete your studies. Are they? Not sure what the embassy can do.

No actually I plan to work in Canada after I finished my studies if I got a job offer, then I'll apply for Express Entry.

Ok so your employment letter has no purpose.

I'm not talking about the purpose, I just need to know if that is a requirement from the IRCC side or not?

No an employer letter is of no benefit. Assume you have approval letter from college or university because processing times are long.
