Experience Letter format

[apara]

Hi All,
I am from India and work in the IT sector. The experience letter that is provided from our company when we resign does not have the roles and responsibilities mentioned (just the designation, dates employed is given) nor the number of hours worked per week.
Does anyone have any idea whether this kind of experience letter is mandatory or the one that is provided from my company will also work?

Please share your thoughts on this..

Thanks!

The reason for this letter is to prove you have performed the duties of the NOC. You will need to get a more detailed description if you are to satisfy CIC. Write or email them and request letter. If they refuse at least you have proof you tried. Start thinking of anyone else in supervisory role who can vouch for you.

Hi,
If you are stating you have experience for the listed occupational list, then you need to provide reference letter (given by employer on letter head) that includes all your responsibilities (main duties reflect like the one included in individual occupational list), tenure of service, designation, salary component.

Template FYI

Thanks all!
I am new to this forum and still dont know how to give a +1

Moreover,
1. do you have any idea whether we need these reference letters for all the companies that one has worked for or any 1-2 will do?
Thinking of how many to contact from my previous organizations (4)

2. Also, will it be a problem if it is not on Company letterhead?

@Apara,

1.0 If you want to show your entire work experience from start till present, and I believe you should for fetching points, then yes it is required. Just get in touch with colleague from previous employer and get it done.

2.0 Absolutely, CIC would not consider your work experience if not on respective Company letterhead.

We all know its a bit headache to get it done, but nevertheless 'job needs to be done'.

Best wishes.......

Regards
Hardi

@apara: here's from my experience. I was also employed with an Indian IT major who has a basic letter format done. They call it a skill certificate and just lets the applicant include the job responsibilities (not more than three). And then they mention at the bottom that the content is not their responsibility but only of the applicant's.
There's another employer of mine who accepted the format I provided them with detailed list of job responsibilities, total number of hours worked per week etc. Very flexible I would say.

So what I am driving at is that it varies according to organization's HR policies. Ofcourse you can suggest your preferred format and then see what they say. Good Luck !

I have experience from 2012 to 2016 running my own IT company. Basically I am the proprietor of my company. How do I prepare an experience letter and self authorize it?

If you are or have been self-employed, provide copies of all the following documentation for periods of self-employment, if available:
 Business/company registration documents;
 Proof of business conducted with clients (i.e., invoices, bills, and client references);
 Balance sheets;
 Income tax returns;
 T4A Statements (if self-employed in Canada)

I have 9+ years of experience in 4 companies (including my current company).

• I had to terminate my employment in my first company as they were not ready to relieve me early. So i have a termination letter from them showing the dates. Can i show the offer letter and the termination letter in this case along with the Payslips. Note: the company doesn’t exist anymore.

• Can I submit, my relieving letter and the last hike letter from the company along with the offer letter. Or should i contact all my previous companies once again and get a detailed letter, as I am not in good terms with my 2nd company. And i am not sure if they will be providing me the reference letter

• I am applying for express entry myself and not through my current company. How am i suppose to get a experience letter from them without them knowing that i am applying for PR in Canada.

• Should my wife also provide these experience proofs when applying

• Can someone provide formats of the letter that is expected to be provided by the employers. Just for reference
