reference letter : work

[msmita28]

hi,
I am applying for Canada Express entry visa. I am working to get reference letters. I have worked for 10 yrs in dell AND 3 years in Wipro.
Do I need reference from both companies?
MY consultant is insisting on getting reference letters on letter from the company.
However here is the problem
1. Dell: I am not sure if Dell will a reference letter and my current manager is out side India. How else can I get a reference letter.
2 Wipro: this was 10 years back. None of my ex colleagues are still with Wipro. I don't think i will get a reference letter from the company. Can a written letter be issued by ex-colleague be used.

Hi There,

Contact the HR department and they ll provide you the required letters. These are actually experience letters stating your current roles and responsibilites containing the employer's complete address with fax and telephone numbers.

if any of your employer is not providing you reference letter - then just write up an email to the HR of that company mentioning all your duties in it and your period of employment with them and ask them to confirm. if they cannot even confirm ask them to at least reply saying we understand and things are true about your employment but we can't give u this on company letterhead....or something like this...call them try to convince them to atleast reply to your email......submit same reply of theirs with ur app to CIC with proper cover letter...

BUT - I am not expert - its just my suggestion......

All the best
