Hello!
The employment/ reference letter doesn't have an expiry date.
I believe if you're using one that was signed 6 months ago, it should be fine as long as your work experience of at least 1 FT year is reflected, and is within 3 years of the time you submit your express entry profile.
If you want to use any hours you've worked since then, you'll need a new letter.

This scares me a little. My reference letter was issued about 7 months into my job and stated I was in a FT permanent role, as did the job offer I submitted alongside it in my PR application. I wonder if they'll flat out reject it, or do a follow up call or an ADR for a more updated letter that reflects a year of work.

Hi All,

I got ADR for IELTS score copy to be uploaded. Any one else who got that ? And can anyone suggest potential reason as to why would they ask so ? I hope this wasn't done just to extend the timeline for processing. However, I have uploaded it the same day. There is no other update to my application - not even MEP but BCG is in progress.

I do not know why they would ask for that. I thought that putting the ielts number form in your profile would be enough. However, I know some people were asked for copy of Ielts form. Maybe they just want to verify just in case
