How to get reference letter from current employer? My duties exactly match NOC 1123, but am afraid to ask my manager or HR for reference letter. I am expecting promotion this dec, this might ruin my chances if they know I have plans to re-locate..

CIC is very specific about which documents are required in Original and they have clearly mentioned it in the Document Checklist.

Still - some calls are based on Judgement. If my ref. letter is on a Company Letterhead, I will send a COPY. This is clearly mentioned by CIC. On the other hand, If i get my supervisor to jot it down for me on an A4, I would ideally enclose the ORIGINAL itself.

Hope that helps.

I think CIC is very fair with what they are asking for whether original or copy. For employment letter which is not easy to get especially for those past jobs you left 10 years ago, no one would be willing to release the original. So, the copy is fine. For my company, I can ask for employment letter(which does not have the duties) many times citing various reasons, so I am happy to include my original with letter head. But for the letter from my manager with duties and responsibilities, I have to keep the original. You can not ask your direct report to write and sign for you multiple times.

Hi members,

some breakdown values as per SS's Observed Data (OD)

Week 3 of May Apps
[May 12] = Total Apps (102) | PER (69) | No PER but CC/DD charged (10) | Rejections (04) | Pending at CIC (18)
[May 13] = Total Apps (034) | PER (21) | No PER but CC/DD charged (03) | Rejections (00) | Pending at CIC (10)
[May 14] = Total Apps (099) | PER (62) | No PER but CC/DD charged (05) | Rejections (01) | Pending at CIC (31)
[May 15] = Total Apps (036) | PER (17) | No PER but CC/DD charged (06) | Rejections (00) | Pending at CIC (13)
[May 16] = Total Apps (034) | PER (04) | No PER but CC/DD charged (10) | Rejections (00) | Pending at CIC (20)

Week 4 of May Apps
[May 20] = Total Apps (042) | PER (00) | No PER but CC/DD charged (16) | Rejections (01) | Pending at CIC (25)
[May 21] = Total Apps (035) | PER (00) | No PER but CC/DD charged (05) | Rejections (00) | Pending at CIC (30)
[May 22] = Total Apps (046) | PER (00) | No PER but CC/DD charged (01) | Rejections (00) | Pending at CIC (45)
[May 23] = Total Apps (028) | PER (00) | No PER but CC/DD charged (00) | Rejections (00) | Pending at CIC (28)

Dont know really, CIC is speeding up or still slow...as total No. of app are also getting less week by week.

Any one from CANADA who can go and knock their doors ? :p :p

There is no harm in getting the application ready right now. What I would do is get everything started and keep checking this forum for cap updates. 2174 is a no-go. But 2173 could still be open when you are ready. If so send the application, if not you will be ready to apply as soon as the new process opens.

Also, it will likely take you 2 months to get things (IELTS and WES in particular) done.
Thank you namaste.. I know IELTS will be valid for 2 years but what about the ECA. If my application is rejected due to the cap being filled, can I reuse the ECA for the next application? Will the embassy return the application

These are the approximate costs that I researched

1) approx $200 for IELTS.
2) $203 for WES .
3) $85 for shipping the ECA back to india
4) Misc courier charges for sending the application

Any other costs that I should include? Thanks in advance
