Experience Letter from previous employer?

[madee4u]

Out of 3 work experiences, I have reference letters from 2 employers however couldn't get reference letter from a previous employer (2006 -2007). I am confused what to do?

• few forums say just write the reference letter by myself?
• few other topics say just write explanation letter stating that you couldn't get reference letter for one of my experiences.. my employer isn't responding at all

FYI: All I have 's tax form for that year showing, I had been paid from that employer and nothing else related to that particular work experience.

Can anyone please suggest me or share their experiences?

Send whatever documents/letters you have and for the ones you dont write a letter explaining your situation.......

what reason should I mention?? seniors please suggest me with options.

The only option is the truth. The reason why you couldn't get one. State what you did to try to get one, and the response ( or lack of one).

Dear madee4u,


I had a similar situation. what i did is i sent a mail to HR for my previous employer requesting them to send me the roles and responsibilities. In 1 instance, I got a reply that they donot provide such document in another, I got no reply. I took the printout of both these emails and I enclosed them with all other docs before sending them to CIC. I guess its a good idea to send a mail to HR asking for such letter....

Please let me know in case of any further queries..

Cheers..
