HELP with overseas work experience letter

[canadiensedream2015]

Hi everyone,

on reading previous threads I just realized my reference letter from previous overseas job might be too short and lacking details that match my NOC code.

Will it be a good idea to ask my previous employer for a more detailed letter and send it as a CSE since I already submitted my eAPR on August 24?

Here is what is written in my letter:

Dear Sir/Madam

This letter is to certify that XXXX worked at XXX as a Geoscientist from June 2007 to August 2008. XXXX worked for 40 hours per week and earned XXXX per month. XXXX worked on the field of earthquake seismology helping with seismic data processing. He also participated in two different geophysical field surveys in the towns of XXX, XXX, XXX and XXX.

XXXX worked very hard and accomplished all the objectives proposed to him. He left XXXX to pursue an advance degree in Earth sciences in XXXX and later a PhD in Geophysics in XXXX. He is currently working as a Geoscientist at the XXXX, XXXX. We are very proud of him and continue to be in collaboration with him.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us by phone XXXXXX or by email (xxxxxx).


Sincerely,

Hi,

Please get the right NOC mapped and use the roles mentioned in that NOC to expand your letter. We need to understand that the officer may not have any idea what work is done under a particular NOC and hence he may cross check with roles & responsibilities with what has been mentioned in the NOC details on CIC website.

Better to get an expanded letter with more details on what you did on a day-to-day basis

Then, Should I send the more detailed letter as a CSE or wait for a request from CIC? Thanks for replying.

I would suggest - Get the letter first and then mail them with an explanation. Always better to be proactive in these things
