Please spare Ministry of Foreign Affair.. They really do have more important things to deal with then to stamp your work exp :D :D If they have to stamp work exp letters of all the applicants they will need a separate ministry Ministry of Canada Immigration!!

On a serious note, no you don't need stamping by any ministry.. Just a signed and sealed letter along with visiting card of your immediate manager (if available) will work.

I have a related question. Do we need to stamp any document from the ministry of foreign affair? Or notarize any document?

Notarization is required for all the documents you will submit in paper to CIC (post you get your ITA). Now there is this confusion whether notarization is mandatory. As per my understanding it is not. But, to be on safer side I suggest to get all the documents notarized before sending them to CIC (hardly matter of few bucks).

What document are you referring when you say 'Document from Ministry of Foreign Affair'. I don't think you need to include any document from MoFA.

For example birth certificates, marriage certificates, etc ...

Should they be attested by MoFA and Canadian Embassy?

Do you mean they have asked you to send back your original work reference letters?
