I've been trying to gather all the documents to apply for a temporary work permit.
During the last years I have been a phd student (Germany, it's been the only position I had after completing the Masters) and I will start as a postdoctoral fellow in January (Canada).
I'm not quite sure if I got the difference between the
- employment reference letter (= main body = skills/ duties + also specific period of employment, salary, working hours)
- letter from current employer (= letter from
Human Resources providing information regarding the salary, position - which has always been the same)
- employment records (=
Since I only have one - that is the position I had while I'm a Phd student, is it the same as the reference letter?)
Right.
I'm so thankful to get any information on the difference!
Moreover, I have another question regarding the proof of qualification:
I have submitted my thesis and I also have a report of my supervisor providing information on the thesis and stating the mark. Do you have any experiences whether this information + a reference letter stating why I'm skilled for the position might be enough? The postdoctoral fellow program states that I have to complete the doctoral degree within the first three years of the postdoctoral appointment - so It would be ok for the university if the date of the defense is after I started the position.

Employment reference letter, letter from current employer, or HR providing info...are all the same. Depending on the type of visa/permit you are applying for, your employment letter needs to have the following details:
I am in a very similar situation (applying from the Netherlands). I was quite confused about all the employment information. What did you end up doing? I was hoping that one letter from my supervisor stating both my duties as a phd student and the annual phd researcher salary (and other benefits) would suffice for all these three categories. What do you think?
I am going to Toronto this month to strt my Post-Doc position.
My advice to you is that you write a very good explanation letter and try to explain that your investment was in your Ph.D training.
Get a support letter from your future supervisor at Canada To make your application strong and to explain why he/she found you suitable for the project.
Do provide bank statement as a prove of financial support.
Ignoring these point may result to decline of your application as what happened to me before I re applied and got it approved.
Good Luck,

Hello Sir,
I have a postdoc position to join at Hamilton this Nov but my thesis reports are yet to arrive. Instead I have thesis submission copy, offer letter and LMIA exempt document. I am also confused between the , Employment reference letter (is it offer letter?), letter from current employer, and employement records. Can you help me?
I'm in the same situation as you, Janine. I'm from Germany and I will do my Postdoc in Toronto. Can you tell me what you sent in the end? My pay stubs and working contracts are all in german - do I need to get official translations of all of them? Would be quite expensive and time consuming...

In the end I submitted different letters, one from my PhD Boss (letter from current employer), one from my institute (employment ref.) and salary slip for last 6 months for employment record. But please ask from other sources since I am not sure. Till now, however I have not felt any problem and they have just updated the status for my medical as Passed.
when i applyed was confussing too. so: employment reference letter and
Letter from current employer,I upload the same document (reference letter from current employer) Employment records upload current and past reference letter.
Hi guys
I will request the postoctoral fellow visa for Canada and I have the same doubts as you. I would like to know if someone attached the same document for:
-letter from current employer
-employment reference letter and
-employment contract
The description of each one is very similar. Would be a letter from my PhD supervisor?
