Seeking Advice: Reference Letter Challenge for Canada Express Entry

[CanDre2023]

Hello all,

I hope this message finds you well. I'm seeking some guidance on a situation I'm navigating. I worked diligently at my previous company for 3 years and have now set my sights on Canada's Express Entry program. However, obtaining a reference letter, a crucial requirement, has become a hurdle.

Interestingly, I started at the company on the same day as a colleague who later left after 2 years. I'm contemplating reaching out to them for a reference letter. If anyone has encountered a similar scenario or has advice to share, I'd greatly appreciate your input.

Thank you so much for your time and insights!
