Reference Letter Modification - After Provincial Nomination !

Dear Members,

I have recently been nominated under SINP - Express Entry stream.
I would like to seek your expert opinion on the following matter:

- My Current company's HR employees have recently been replaced. Hence, the contact details on my old reference letter, on which I was nominated under SINP, have been changed. So I just acquired a new letter from the HR for IRCC purpose. However, they have not issued the same letter to me on which I was nominated, rather few duties have been modified and few have been deleted in the new letter which they issued. But after a detailed analysis of the new letter, I noted that it covers all duties specified in my NOC, hence seems eligible even after modification.

However, based on the above fact, I would like to know:
1- Whether IRCC compares submitted reference letters with those on which provincial nomination was acquired by the applicant?

2- Is it allowable to modify the letter, subsequently, based on the above ground or any other grounds like modify duties on the letter to get them more aligned with NOC?

3- If the answers to the above questions are "Yes" and "No" respectively, then please advise the corrective action.

Thank you so much in advance.

Regards,
GB

Hi there,

1- As long as the duties match and the they are in your NOC code you are good to go. They are not stupid, they will know the HR might have changed.
2- I don't see why not?

You have to know the SINP and PR departments are two completely different sectors, and barely they will exchange information.

The point is that the officer checking your application just wants to make sure you are declaring what needs to be declared, the cover letter can change, even the design, the content can change, even the signature can change, as long as the job duties are parallel to what you are doing. And you are by no means misrepresenting your situation.

There is nothing to worry about. You are all fine.

Best of luck,

Don't worry about this - as long as your new letter is in the required format and it the roles match the NOC, you are good to go!

2- Is it allowable to modify the letter, subsequently, based on the above ground or any other grounds like modify duties on the letter to get them more aligned with NOC?

If you want to get it modified, do it before you submit your PR application.

3- If the answers to the above questions are "Yes" and "No" respectively, then please advise the corrective action.

IRCC will look at what NOC you were nominated for, and check to see if your letter is authentic and supports the NOC. Based on what you have stated, there is no reason for worry.
