Should you inform CIC if you get a promotion at your current company?

Hello.. I have 5 years of work ex and a MBA degree... but i am saddned by the fact that WES asswipes are not going to consider it. Cuz my undergrad college is rated B and not A by NAAC and since it was a three year program, i will loose some points.

But anyway, that's not why i have created this thread. Its because i would like to know if you have to inform CIC authorities incase you are getting promotion after you receive the reference letter from the current boss under whom you are working.

Also have one more question. What if i directly report to the CEO and we are a small company with no H.R Manager involved, will that look doubtful to CIC authority guys while checking, because if that's so then we have admin officer who generally takes care of resume shortlisting. I can ask him to sign too and even my boss is ready to sign. Not sure what to do in such a case.

Also one more thing. Is it compulsory to mention your working hours in the reference letter?

Last question, is it mandatory to mention my previous position (at the time of joining the company) and the current position in the company and separate salary details for the same. Doesn't that make the letter too long? or should i get separate letter for the two different positions even if its the same company?

Won't make any difference to CIC unless it alters your CRS score.

It is enough if your supervisor signs this document. Get it printed on the company letterhead - that should do.

CIC asks for it explicitly. Working hours/week.

You don't need 2 letters from the same organization, mention the start date and end date of 1st position and start date of 2nd position. Just mention the latest salary figure.

Brother this may sound silly to you, but in my company's letter head, there is only company name and logo imprinted on it. There is no mention of website or address on the letter head. My boss says he can put the address stamp on the letter but i doubt if it will do. Help, i am little scared now..

A company seal with address, URL and phone numbers would suffice. Else, get it typed on the letterhead itself, probably somewhere close to the bottom of the page. You don't need to worry so long as it is a legit firm

My company does not have a seal, instead they use only stamps. Hope that does not crop up to be an issue in the future..

Plus i will ask them to print company address, registration no (Govt) and website url along with contact number at the bottom of the page like a footer. I guess that will suffice right? are you sure about that? wont it look custom printed and raise some kind of suspicions? i hope not... :-X

That sounds ok. It won't cause any problems. Like I said before, you have nothing to worry about if it is a legit gig.
