You can also ask for bonafide certificates (usually issued by schools), but, you can ask for, letter usually given to get home loans to prove that you are working there.
but make sure to mention what mkhrussell suggested.

I dont know where your company is located but by-law when you join a company they are required to define what position you will be working on and what you will be doing.
if nothing else ask them to write a letter saying that they cant issue a letter detailing what you have requested and then submit a letter with your application detailing what you had been doing. another thing that you can do is to attach a recruitment advertisement from your company for the same position. It would be awesome if that recruitment advertisement was published in a paper or is already posted on your company website. And if the joining letter details your roles and responsibilities then that is good too. All you need to prove is that you have been working inthe field that you are claiming and these were the responsibilities.

Canadian system would need the roles and responsibilities to properly assess your application.

The application you submit will be evaluated thoroughly and you would need to prove everything you say by presenting proper documentation.

There is no valid reason for a company to refuse to detail the primary job responsibilities.

Here, in India, many face the problem for roles and responsibilities not being disclosed on paper by any employer. :mad:

I observed that HR only follows standard formats of employment certificates/ letters. They become hesitant to entertain any request from employees when a different format of the letter is requested. Probably, because they are unaware of the purpose of your request. But that is just my thought... so this is how I approached it.

I prepared a draft of the letter. I talked to my immediate supervisor and asked him to confirm that the contents of the letter was accurate. I explained to him that I will be needing it for an application (to immigrate to Canada). He understood and he forwarded my draft to the HR recommending for it to be signed. I am very thankful that I have an open-minded Manager who supported me with my personal goals.

It was difficult requesting for it directly from HR. But when I asked my direct manager to assist me, it became easy. HR just needs someone to assure them that there is nothing wrong with the requested letter. Again,... this is just my perception. I am not saying that this is REALLY HR behavior.

Maybe you can try a similar approach. Look for someone who can persuade HR to prepare the requested letter.
You are lucky to have such senior. :D . Even i got letter same way through my senior. ;D

This situation is not new to India, It has always been like that. the best way is to accept that it is going to be that way and look for other proof or other ways of proving.
Canadian Visa office knows the prevailing issue and is able to accept proof by indirect means. what needs to be done is to let them know what and why's of the problems.
when companies advertise for positions similar to yours take a print out and get it notarized or attested. keep your employment letters keep your performance appraisals.
include testimonies by your co-workers. attach names of references who can verify your stories. and most of all pay attention to social engineering.

attach every scrap of paper that company gave to you. let visa office know that company will not discuss roles and responsibilities and this is all you can attach and further verification about your claims could be done by contacting the HR department.
although totally unnecessary as you letter is already treated as an affidavit but get an affidavit made stating the facts of the case and attaching it to the application.

instead of looking only one direction strengthen your case by alternate means. VO's are experienced people and they do exercise substituted evaluation and to be very honest they can very easily identify trouble spots. All you need to do is ask. if you knock the door, it will be opened for you

Stay positive
