My case is pretty similar to urs.
My AoR is 28th Nov. No update yet since MEP and a basic ADR back in Jan.
Well my primary NOC has 2 jobs totally to 3 years. 2.2 from my ex organization for which I have given a reference letter on the company letter head, offer letter, release letter, payslips. The rest 10 months is from my current organization. Did not get reference letter from the company..They denied it and also denied to write the same on an email as a proof.
I got a reference letter from a manager who is at higher rank than me. I got the reference letter mailed to me from his official email address, i took a print out of it, got it signed by him and then scanned and uploaded it. Also got hos Business Card. Other than that I submitted my offer letter, 6 months payslips, bank statement of the saleh being created for an year, appraisal letter, and last year's IT return.
Nothing has been mentioned on my LOE that my organization denied to provide a reference letter.
We had hired Y axis and their immigration lawyer check these documents and said it was good to go.
Also we called CIC twice, the last being 2 days back..And the agent said work is ongoing on my file..And there is no red flag. All the different criterias are in progress..Bit seeing the post just below you that agent on call and the gcms are 2 different story, i am now not confident if the information was genuine or not.
Anyway, ur reference letter was from ur fellow colleague or someone senior?
A senior employee in the same organization is always a safe option than a colleague.
I don't know if mone is stuck for the same reason or not..Applied gcms on 29th april and awaiting, so would know once received.
I would suggest submit another LOE with whatever documents u have from this organization to prove ur employment and if the reference letter was from a colleague, try to get a new one from a senior and submit that too. Mention on ur LOE that ur company has verbally denied to provide u with a reference letter..
Though these are just my suggestion.
Btw, ur AOR please?
Can anyone please let me know if the documents I submitted are enough proof for my employment?
