Yes but you should attach his business card in that case.

A detailed job letter is used to support our claims for work experience, to show experience match with NOC 2011 and to calculate points and I would highly recommend that your buddy request new ones clearly stating the following information, as per CIC guidelines. Without it, the CIC officer reviewing your application has very little to go by without doing further investigative checks and may reject(or request further information) your application for not meeting the requirements.

Letters must include all of the following information:
 the specific period of your employment with the company
 the positions you have held during the period of employment and time spent in each position
 your main responsibilities and duties in each position (This is what they use to evaluate NOC category and match)
 your annual salary plus benefits in each position, and
 the number of hours worked per week in each position

The guideline says the following are needed and logically serves to validate and verify the information we provide.

Letters must be:
 written on company letterhead
 signed by the responsible officer/supervisor
 show company's full address, telephone and fax numbers, e-mail and website addresses
 stamped with the company's official seal (if applicable)

Remember they're dealing with hundreds of thousands of applications at CIC and if your application is lacking, it could cause you a delay.

I'm inclined to believe business cards would suffice for not having "telephone and fax numbers, e-mail and website addresses on the letter head and/or stamped with the company's official seal" as a means to validate the letter, but certainly not to augment missing details.

Please submit on letter head. Last year i submitted a letter without letter head and my application is rejected. All they care is for documents not for real experience. so what ever you submit should be believable.

Hi Folks,

Is there anyone with work experience in Cognizant (CTS) India or in Keppel Fels Singapore Company where they don't provide any reference letter or any person there don't provide their business cards too.

What can be done? Is there any other way?

All documents are there except for the reference letter.

Offer letter
Experience Letter
6 month salary payslips

Regards,
Sreeni01

Be guided by the guidelines in the check-list for the category under which you are applying for. In terms of the job letter, have your employers state your salaries and benefits. Whether you're paid by cheque, direct deposit or cash is irrelevant, however, a key requirement is that you must be able to show proof of funds. You will need to show proof to the Canadian visa office in your home country that you have enough money when you apply to immigrate.

Hi Sreeni01

I know Indian IT companies do not provide detailed reference letter and business card is available only with the top notch management.

Not sure if they will reject for this in EE

Same for me. My ex Employer clearly told that they would not be able to provide any kind of referral letter. Now the bad luck is although I have all the documents stating that I have worked and resigned in a proper way from the company, I have misplaced my offer letter which I had got from them. I am really anxious as the employer is not ready to provide a duplicate offer letter or any other letter of that sort. I do know its my mistake,but with regards to the referral letter they clearly stated that they would not provide the referral letter. Any pointers on this? Should I withdraw my application?

Hi

Dont withdraw.

We will wait. We are not the only ppl with this scenario.

There will be many applications without proper Reference letter.

CIC may consider our profile if we provide rest all docs like pay slips, bank statements etc...

Be patient.

Everything will go smooth.

Ppl with score less than 481 have this advantage too. CIC will come across many cases like this and will give a solution to that before we get ITA.

Sreeni01
