Hi dear all,

I have a question regarding employment reference letter.

I've just received a reference letter from my previous employer and it satisfies all of PNP/CIC requirements but

the letter is in English while the company contact information are in Arabic :(

Do I need to translate this letter though the core information regarding my employment are in English?

Thank you

Is there contact information in english at the bottom of the letter? I am talking about the very end, where the letter writer signs or put there name and contact info? If there is contact information in english in that section then you don't need to worry about getting it translated. May be you can request your employer to revise the letter and write the contact information (name of the supervisor, address, phone#, email address and website) in english.

yes ate the very bottom my supervisor's name, phone, position, and email are all in English but the employer's contact info like the word website is in Arabic but the actual website is in English of course.
I cannot request another one because due to a war going on in my country :( there is no mail and I received this letter through one of my friends who were in my home country for a visit.
Thank you fr your help, I think I have to translate it :'(

If the relevant information is in English, there is no need for a translation.

Buddy I have the similar issue with reference letter. It is written in English but the company has no English letterhead so the letterhead is in Russian. I did not bother to translate it because it has only several words (adress and bank information) written in Russian. Also the letterhead has the company's email adress and website in English where all information can be checked.

So I submitted it the way it is.

If the phone number, email and website are in English that should be more than enough, but I see no harm in playing it safe and translating.

Mine had both English and Arabic and it was accepted.

I wrote the letter with enquiry to CIC because this is very interesting topic.

I asked:

Dear sir/madam,

I apply for Permanent Residency through Express Entry.

My employer provided the reference letter in English language but the company has no English letterhead. So the letterhead with adress is in Russian.

Is it admissible?

Thank you in advance for you response.
CIC replied:

Good day,

Please note that it should be the original letter regarding your employment and duties from your employer(in English and the address in Russian).

Thank you.
That means that letterhead with adress can be Russian, that's not an issue.

Hope it will help somebody
