Hello,
Quick questions regarding employer reference letters. I applied in category 0111 in November.
1, Does CIC contact the employers to validate the letter of reference or the VO does it? VO
2, Do they always contact the employer or only sometimes? As per the guidelines, they should always but it is left to the discretion of Visa officer assigned to your case
3, What happens if they cannot reach the company/boss? (company went bankrupt, no longer exists - so noone will answer the phone/email) If they really want to validate and no mode of communication is available. Then the officer may ask for an interview with the supporting documents. again VO's discretion
4, Should we send an additional letter to CIC explaining the situation? We mentioned this bankruptcy issue in the application, but only gave the central contact information for the company. Shall we write now and give them the private phone number of my ex-boss? Or shall we wait for PER and send an update to VO?Not sure about this one
Thanks
