Dear Seniors,

I am March 2013 applicant, I have submitted supporting documents explanation letter, T4 and pay stubs in place of employer reference letter. My employer has refused to provide one which I mentioned in explanation letter. Just want to know if the above is enough and I will be through.

Best Regards
ravi

It's very unlikely but possible.

It really depends on the supporting docs. I know of a person who was unable to get a reference letter from her employer, so she printed out a job description from the company website, her employment letter (which would show first day of work) and added pay stubs to show she was still employed at that company. Some employment letters give the full details of what CIC wants. If you still have that, you could still send that to CIC as supporting docs. This may or may not help, it depends on your VO and what he/she accepts as enough info.

By the way, that person is a PR now

This doesn't happen often.

A job description doesn't confirm you have done the duties - that's the problem.
 
Hi YoungJC,

Thank you.

My WP was extended and I have provided the extension package documents along with the application which has my role, responsibilities and hours etc..

Yea its a tough situation, all you can really do is pray and wait. Like Jsm said, it doesn't happen often without a letter from your company, but it is possible that it is accepted.
 
It really depends on VO.
If VO is strict (which they are now a days) it is straight forward rejection.
But if VO is lenient he will look into the supporting documents and if satisfied grant PR.

Remember reference letter is a mandatory document( not optional).

Ravim, I am too in the same situation.
My employer refused stating that I am currently not in Canada. I don't understand how irrelevant the reason is. It's really frustrating. With all the efforts and pain we put in so far, it's now totally based on luck :(
