Hello,

I hope it would be OK if the reference letter is directly addressed to Citizenship and Immigration Services, Canada?

Also, HR is not ready to put my salary and previous designations held. They are ok to put following details on letter head:

1. Subject line: For the formalities of Immigration to Canada
2. Name and Emp ID
3. Working Hours, Start and End date with last designation held.
4. Job Duties

I have my pay stubs and last promotion letter. So, will the above contents suffice on my reference letter.

Thanks,
Amy

This would suffice along with your promotion letter (if that mentions your annual salary).

Many Thanks Asivad.

My last promotion letter specifies designation "Änalyst Programmer" and my salary slips and relieving letter says "senior software engineer". Actually it is one and the same thing but will I need to write LOE for this.
OR
The reference letter + salary slips will also be fine?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Amy

It doesn't matter. Designations/titles aren't as important as job responsibilities in determining whether you've chosen the right NOC so that wouldn't matter much.

For proof of having been paid salaries, you can choose to upload promotion letter (which mentions salary), salary slips or both. Your call.

Dear Asivad,

Could you please advise, whether the employment letter should include salaries for each position held in one single company or just current salary will do?

I'm having the same problem here. The company will provide a letter, but without the main duties.

I'm thinking in send this letter, and another explaining the reason to not have the main duties, also send them my contract and a link to Brazilian job description bank.

What do you guys think about it?

I had the same issue that the company went under last year, also next to that is that the company had a name change and i left for 6 months for an internship in Canada. I left the company before it going under and left on a good note so that helped me out as wel.

So what i did was split the two periods up and write a setup letter to the boss asking him to write two letters of which he could change as he pleased. This incorporated the main duties and positions i had. This way there is not a mismatch to the actual PR profile. He signed it and i added a translation sheet for some of the pay stubs.

My BG review went from "in progress" to "not needed at this time" so it is prob good. No news is good news atm

My Duties and responsibilities has been defined under Contract document (Annex A with heading Roles and Responsibility) during my joining time. But in reference letter it was not mentioned. Is it OK?

As long as you have the information required on the reference letter in some form or the other, you are good to go.
