Dear hussen,

If you can't get that reference there is the Work Booklet which can show that if it has been a registered Work.

Dear hussen,

Actually it was an internship, it wasn't registered because it wasn't considered in terms of work. Do you think i could just write a note to state that it's unavailable to me? but then again, they wouldn't consider it in such case right? What else could be done?

Thank you for your fast replies

[blue]Hi Hussen,
It usually happens with many people here so no need to worry much.

if you are not able to get work certificate from your employer, then you can make an affidavit by yourself stating the details of work certificate such as the job responsibilities, date of joining, date of confirmation/period of probation, salary/stipend, number of working hours, other benefits etc.

You can also attach an explanatory letter mentioning that you can not get the work certificate from your employer for so and so reason.

Good Luck!
