Employment Reference Letter

[canadalove85]

My employer wont issue a reference letter for PR purpose. What can I do to prove this period of employment.

Has anyone faced this - what did you do.

does this increase the chances of getting rejected if you are not able to provide a proper reference letter from the employer on a letter head.

Why not? What purpose will sound good to them to issue an employment letter?

It's all up to ircc discretion but if u don't have a reference letter, pack as many evidence as possible to prove your employment there. If you can't get an employment letter on letterhead. ..can u get a supervisor to put ur info on the paper with the info ircc asks for and have supervisor sign? Also copy the business card of the supervisor to your letter.

Submit pay stubs covering the first 3 months of your employment and last 3 months of pay stubs. Also if u can submit an ad detailing yur job description, add it there.

Can u get an email with details showing the employer won't issue a reference.?

I can try to get the supervisor to sign but seems difficult. Has that worked for people? I can amass all the other proofs. Increment letters, bonus payout letters, pay stubs, joining letter etc. Would that suffice? or still IRCC can reject the application even with sufficient proof of employment.

Is this the only job you're claiming points for?

If you have other jobs in your work history, you can add the others and leave out this one.

You need a minimum of one year continuous work experience and a maximum of 3 years (this doesn't need to be continuous).

Good luck.

This is the current job. I have one more work ex for exactly 3 years but that was between 2006-2009. Would that work?

Getting reference letter from the current job is tricky to say the least.

There are some threads on this forum that specifically address this issue. You'll get better advice and guidance there.

Good luck.

Yes, it has worked for others but like I saud, it's up to the officer reviewing your case in the end.
