I want to apply for Canadian Immigration through Federal Skilled Worker program (FSWP) via express entry.
I am currently doing Job in Pakistan. One important requirement for this program is the reference/experience letter from my Employer. My employer is not willing to give my any sort of experience/reference letter for this immigration process and i am very worried about this. However, my immediate boss is aware about my future plans and he may be able to help me out in some way.
Please guide me, how can i overcome this problem.

Try to get the reference letter from him on the company letterhead.If that's not possible then get it on plain paper along with his business card copy and get the letter nortarized.If you have any email communication from the employer that they have declined to provide the reference letter then attach that too.Along with that add pay stubs,offer letter,contracts and any other documents to prove your work experience.All the best.

I can get reference letter from my supervisor on Govt. Stamp Paper (along with his signature, designation, contact no. and email) and can get it notarized. Also, i can attach following documents:
1. Pay slips
2. Tax Documents
3. Promotion Letter
4. Appointment Letter
5. Experience certificate of just two lines on company letter head (for some other purpose i.e. for renewal of membership of my Engineering Council Card).
6. My company ID card copy

Will there be any issue if i can provide ONLY the above mentioned documents ?
What are the chances that my documents will be rejected?

This would be fine.

Make sure you add LOE to explain the reason for not getting reference letter on company letter head/employer and the proactive steps taken/documentations to the prove the work experience.Make sure reference letter includes roles and responsibilities and other details as required by IRCC.

Check other discussions of similar situation and there wasn't any issue.
