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)ou
As per my understanding CIC will calculate your points based on Date of application
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..
If you could not get LOR from you current employer, then you should submit an affidavit(Notarized) stating your main duties, along Appointment letter, contract copy, salary slips & Business card of your supervisor.And tell them the reason why you could not get LOR
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
Try hard to get all LORs but incase you could not,As i said above if any of your employers does not give you LOR, you should submit an affidavit stating reason for the same along with all other supporting documents
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 will do but dont forget to submit affidavit, it will support your application strongly
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.
