Employment Reference Letters - how to proceed if unable to get required details

[Stanlee]

Hello, question, let's say my supervisor is willing to provide a reference letter for me, should it be using the company letter head, or plain paper will be fine?Thanks

If your supervisor is authorized to issue letters printed on letterhead, then go for it. If not, then get it on a plain paper, get it notarized and submit it with an LOE, supervisor's visiting card and copy of supervisor's empolyee id.

If you are looking for a format, then you can modify the below format as per your requirement.

This is in line with the requirement that has been mentioned in the OINP Application Guide (http://www.ontarioimmigration.ca/en/pnp/OI_PNP_EE_CAPITAL.html).

Wow..Thanks for this. I dont think he can provide the letter using the letter head..I will try this format..Are there any known positive result from cases where an applicant passed the reference letter from a Supervisor only and not using the letter head?

Unfortunately it seems that CIC does not seem to accept 'non-letterhead' reference letters. I suppose if you're doing it in a plain sheet of paper might be worth getting notarized. Don't know how much will help.

I'm doing one of my affidavits on a plain sheet of paper as my first employer closed down and I am unable to locate him. Not sure if this will even work. I did get my affidavit Notarized.

Does the affidavits require to be with the referee when the lawyer notarize it?

If you already have valid reference letter for 3 years of foreign work experience (NOC 0/A/B, paid, within 10 years), you're safe on the CRS front.

Make sure you reach 67/100 without needing anything from your current job. If you do, no worries.

Dear Asivad,

I am in the similar situation.Any and all advise will be great !!

- I have shown 8 years of experience on my EE profile.
- Now after receiving the invitation, the current job which contributes to 1 year of the total work experience; i cant obtain reference letters.All i can get is - offer letter, official payslips stamped, salary certificate letter stating everything other than job and duties, official job description on company letter head stamped.
- Shall i proceed by just uploading whatever supporting's i have and mentioning in LOE. OR Shall i delete this experience and show it in the personal history ?

Please advise Asivad
