Things are turning strange.. Need an expert opinion on below matter..
After completing IELTS on 21-Jun, I am now confident about getting minimum 22 points for that.. My point calculation looks as below.
Language - 22 pts min expected, 23 points also looks possible (50% probability)
Education - 21 pts (Bachelor of Engineering from Indian university, ECA report available)
Age - 12 pts (30 yrs)
Experience - various permutations and combinations possible in getting reference letter. Pls refer below options 1-3.. (my current employment completes 2 yrs on 12-Jul.. and i want to make application by 5-Jul...) Refer below options for anticipated points from experience.
1. 11 pts if i get experience letter only from current employer (started on 12-Jul-2012)
2. 13 pts if i get only from past employer (5.5 yrs)
3. 15 pts if i get ref letter from both... (7.5 yrs)
Question - 1: Can i consider my current employment worth 2 yrs (by the time CIC review, it will be more than 2 yrs)
Question - 2: Should i apply even if i do not get ref letter from current employer..? as the points will cross 67 most probably with 13 points from first employment itself (5.5 yrs) and i will fight tooth and nail to get exp letter from first employer..
Question - 3: Should i apply if first employer does not give ref letter and current one gives..? If my second employment is considered worth 2 yrs, and if i get 23 points from IELTS (chances are fair), i still reach 67 points.
I can submit my offer letter, employment letter, annual performance review letters and salary slips etc for both employment in case i do not get ref letter. A letter on plain paper is also possible from my current boss.
This is a long and complicated query.. but very important for me to decide whether to wait for both reference letters or apply with one ..? I request thoughtful and experienced colleagues to pls go through and give your opinion.
