Ontario Express Entry - Received PT Notification of Interest from Ontario

[Asivad Anac]

That's right. If you are submitting the originals, signed by your supervisor (can be on plain paper as well) then no notarisation is required.

Recommend that paper reference letters be notarized prior to submission as these aren't being provided in the official capacity of the issuing person (else they would be on organizational letterhead). The act of notarization binds you legally to the contents of the letter which will help CIC in refusing your application or revoking your PR if any of these details are found to be untrue at any point in time. Plain paper letters have no legal sanctity - plain paper gift letters though are different because they are signed by the donor and accompanied by actual proof of money transfer. Even such letters are refused as valid supporting documentation for POF if they aren't accompanied by bank documents conclusively proving money transfer.

Just my $0.02.

Okay thank you, Asivad. Appreciate it. Well, I have already submitted it to Ontario and I guess there is nothing I can do right now to change it. I have to wait it out and see what happens to my application.

Thanks for the help guys....My another concern is as I have 10 yrs of work experience. 7yrs with the current employer and 1.5 yrs each with previous two employers. So my question here is Do I need to get reference letter from previous employers as well or letter from current employer will be enough..Also it will be very difficult to get letter from previous employer as no friend or ex colleague is working there now. Although I have the offer letter and relieving letter from both of them.

I think with 7 years of experience you already meet the maximum experience requirement. For previous companies you ll need to write LOE that you tried contacting them, but could not get reference letter. Make sure you provide appointment letter/leaving letter plus any other documents issued by those companies for showing proof of employment during those years.

You do this if you are really not able to get reference letter. If you can get reference letter then go by that way only.

7 years give you maximum points for work experience so you need not worry about the previous jobs. In the Ontario application form, work and personal history section are clubbed into one and so you have to mention about your previous job. You can add a LOE and tell them that you are claiming points for your current job alone and not the previous jobs.

For post ITA application, you can disclose only your current job in the Employment section and can retain the other 2 jobs in the Personal History section alone. This way, you wouldn't have to submit reference letters for your previous jobs.

How to Write LOE.

I am not able to provide reference letter from my employer.

I have notarized a declaration with my employment details.

I have sent a mail to my manager to issue me the required letter.
I had him reply me that he cant provide the letter and he is accepting that what i specified are
my roles and responsibilities in my current capacity.

I have a screenshot from my company portal showing him as my manager.
I have his id card Xerox and contact details.

And other docs... sal slips, promotion letter,Joining letter and offer letter etc..

Will it work, I am worried.

Please refer one of my post and one above in this thread to get idea on LOE for such scenario:

This should work. Good luck!!

Hi,

I qualify under CEC HCS under OINP so do i have to submit bank statement and 3 month transaction from Canadian Bank because under check list it is one of the mandatory documents ?

 

[abdul538]

when you are submitting copy of a Canadian Degree it is just the photo copy right ? in the application guide it says

A certified true copy of your degree granted from an academic institution in Canada;

so do i have to notarized it ? or what ?

The first notification will take a time of 60 days from the day the application is delivered in Ontario. It would be the Application received acknowledgement which will be sent to your email id.

Hi Guys,

I have received an invite to apply from Ontario province, i have prepared my file, now the agent i am using is saying that i need to have my birth certificate as mandatory document for Ontario pnp. I have given him my 10th certificate, passport copy and school age certificate as proof of age. i do not have my birth certificate coz they were not issued before 1990 in India. He is saying that i need to get a letter from municipal corporation where i was born that they dont have any records of my birth and what ever i am stating is true.

He is also saying that if i apply without the birth certificate i may loose my cad 1500 fee, i need to check if this is correct information and has anyone else also faced this issue

a quick response is appreciate as i have limited time left before my 45 days to apply expire
