I have reference letter, as per cic format, from my company on letter head but it is signed by admin/hr manager instead of company's director. Is this ok or should it be signed by the director of the company ???

Bank statements from 6-7 years ago are almost impossible to get where I come from.
Talked to the company reps and they also do not have pay slip records as they dispose them a year after the employee resigns and leaves.

The latest company I worked for closed operations suddenly, so was unable to use the latest experience for EE. Had to call up the earlier employers.

i have got 9 years old bank statements from the bank branch. You got to place a request , pay the fees and wait for 4 to 8 working days. They can process your request.

The more and more documents you provide along with the reference letter, the faster will your background verification process and vice versa.

I agree. Could you list a few documents - other than the bank statement that I can provide?

Bank statement, pay stubs, payslips are not mandatory documents as per CIC website info centre which is referred by the immigration officer while going thru the PA's file.

Try and analyze why they have asked employers reference letter and bank reference letter which does not mention the above stated docs. Coz employer and bank are the most authentic third party certified organisation as they will for one person will not fake docs and put their reputation at stake.

They don't even bother to see at pay stubs and payslips nor do they bother about statements as you see, the format of both the letters is too precise and too full of info required.

They don't do verifications based on the max docs you provide. They have their own portals to verify passport and pcc. Meds are uploaded by their designated panel. It's the bank and employer for which they do web based verifications and phone calls to both to verify.

No matter how many docs you give, they will keep their benchmark till what they have asked for and not what we have provided extra.

If its a reputed organisation pay stubs add value after providing the reference letter too.
As you mentioned rightly bank is an authentic 3rd party, thus bank statements along with reference letters prove that you have received monthly salary from this employer, you dont need to provide bank statement for the entire period but a few months gives additional comfort to the visa officer.

Read all the posts on this forum and also check online videos about making a profile after ITA, everyone has done the same.

Nothing adds value which is not in the checklist. It's all a myth of providing additional documents until asked for. Unnecessarily flooding them with extra docs only delays the process by making your file lengthier for them to go through. Just think about it.

I did a hardcore research on every aspect before filing and after receiving ITA, I was assured that I'm not gonna bomb them with extra docs. I was sure that I'll provide them what they've asked for. I've put myself in there shoes and thought about what exactly they are looking for.

CIC specifies each and everything very clearly. It's us, who are making mistakes, not them. If our application is getting delayed, we have done something wrong. Just because it's our, we will deny in committing a mistake.

BTW, my copr is on way. Given mine and family's passport to vfs.

Moreover, I didn't see or followed YouTube because CIC was clear enough on how to and what to do.

For me getting payslips (dating back 8-9 years ago) and getting a bank statement that certifies the deposits is next to impossible. I didnt read anything online that said pay slips / bank deposits are needed.
