Hi, my query is related to work experience letter required for immigration to Canada.

1) Are we supposed to get this letter from HR or our supervisor or either of them will do?

2) Is this mandatory or optional?
"must have attached business card of the supervisor who is giving this job reference letter to you"
1) A reference or experience letter from the employer, which
    • should be an official document printed on company letterhead (must include the applicant’s name, the company’s contact information [address, telephone number and email address], and the name, title and signature of the immediate supervisor or personnel officer at the company),
    • should indicate all positions held while employed at the company and must include the following details: job title, duties and responsibilities, job status (if current job), dates worked for the company, number of work hours per week and annual salary plus benefits; and
  • if the applicant is self-employed, articles of incorporation or other evidence of business ownership, evidence of self-employment income and documentation from third-party individuals indicating the service provided along with payment details (self-declared main duties or affidavits are not acceptable proof of self-employed work experience).
2) Yes, it is Mandatory if you have mentioned you have Work Experience in your respective NOC.

Please note that if you are a dependent and you have not mentioned anything about your work history then you do not have to get one but for all Primary applicants, Employment Verification Letter is a must.

My employer says they can't give "salary details" on the reference letter even though my manager is willing to grant me that document. What should I do?
