Hi everyone,
Can some one please help me to clarify following points:
1- I am planning to apply under Real Estate Sales Manager category (0121). I was working for a UAE based company between 2005-2008. In this tenure I was initially based in India as Property Consultant for approx 1 year and selling their projects in India but after my better performance in 2006 I was shifted to Dubai and was given Sales Manager position and remained there till Sept 2008. Now this company is no more in operations but I am in touch with the CEO hence I would have no issue in getting references for my role and responsibilities. Can anyone pls provide or guide me about letter of reference. The letter of reference is not required. The letter of experience is needed, which should state your job responsibities (hopefully matching guided responsibilities), your tenure, titles you have held (date of titles), and salary
A- Is it necessary to mention the salary in reference letter as I am not sure if my ex-CEO would sign it in that case. You may be ok without the salary information, but better to have it
B- This LOR would be for past date or present date? Also If I need to get separate LOR for Property Consultant and Sales Manager or this can be mentioned in a single LOR.The letter can be issued at any date, as long as it mentions your start and end date
C- Does this LOR have to be on Letter head or on A4 page signed by the ex-CEO. Shall I request him to give his previous Business card that of CEO and also his latest business card as a founder of new organisation to be attached with LOR. Will that be sufficient?The letter needs to be on company letterhead as this will ngive more authenticity to the letter, anyone can write a letter on A4 and get the business card printed
D- Do I also need to attach other document along with LOR like experience certificate, pay slips, contract etc. I have nothing except general experience certificate now. Letter of Experience is what is required, rather than letter of reference
2- I did my Bachelors from India and Masters from UK. Do I need to get ECA done for my INDIAN bachelor degree as well along with my Masters degree. I am claiming points for my highest degree i.e Masters/Post Graduation done in UK. You will need to get both evaluated
3- I have got some months gap period between my jobs, between studies and job. Am I supposed to give each and every detail of past 10 years employers, reason of gap, whether I am claiming points for those jobs or not. I worked part time in a retail sector in the UK but my employer does not give me a proper reference letter as required by CIC, i am also not claiming any points for my UK job...do I still need to mention it in my application with all the similar documentation as needed for NOC.You do need to give all the jobs you have held(you can ignore the work at retil store) but you will have to say unemployed in that case
4- Can I submit Bank certificate instead of statement along with the application as I have recently deposited funds in my account.you can, also I would recommend that you should include previous bank account statements. I assume CIC would like to know and understand how did you get all that money all of sudden
5- Shall I arrange Police Report before sending application or should wait till Medical.You can request it but not neccesary to send with application, you can send at the time of medical
6- My Passport is expiring in Jan 2015 i.e around 6 months from now. Will that affect my application in any way? Am I still eligible to apply with 6 months expiry period. I would be applying to renew it in a month's time.I suggest you should get the passport renewed prior to sending the application, alternatively, you can the current apssport in the application and when the medicals are requested you should send the updated passport documents- ususally they ask if they see that your passport will expire prior to issing medical request
Seniors, please help, will really appreciate that.
Thanks in advance.
