Hi All,

I am in the process of initiating my PR process through AINP and my lawyer is asking for an experience letter from my current employer. My current employer does not know about my immigration plans and if I ask them for an experience letter it might jeopardize my job. Can any of you please suggest some alternatives?

Can I provide my lawyer with my h1B initiation document (where my employer has mentioned about my job description etc)..I have all my pay stubs/ W2 forms etc..Would really appreciate it if someone can give me some pointers.

Best Regards,

Cincycat

Tell your employer you need a statement of your working there.  People get them all the time to apply for credit cards, loans etc.
It should say your job title, that you are working there full time and how long you have worked there.  Put that together with your H1B document listing some of your job duties and see if it's enough.  Include a cover letter for AINP stating why you can't get a detailed job duties letter from your boss.

I have used copy of  LCA letter prepared by employed for USCIS at time filing H1B as
a proof of job responsibility.

I also used a general letter of employment state designation, start date and salary
given by my employer.

My  guess is that should work.

Is copy of  LCA letter prepared by employer for USCIS at time filing H1B required document? Would reference letter and offer letter from my employer suffice?

LCA is not required. I have not seen any of my H1B related documents other than I-797 (approval notice) and new I-94. I sent those along with a reference letter from my boss that had my title, duties, salary and dates of employment (just the start date). I also included a most recent paystub. I guess those documents must have been sufficient as I have already received my nomination (on Feb 10).

Speak to your lawyer. Surely your lawyer works for you so tell him/her that it would be hard for you to get such a letter and why and they might have other suggestion.

I am not an expert at Canadian Immigration.
Please don't expect me to answer if your post title has urgent in it and it is not really urgent. Urgent is 911 or you have a definite deadline tomorrow, not that you would like to send in the application soon

Thanks nix1. I mailed my application and supporting docs today to AINP program by express mail. Any idea how long it might take to hear back from them? One more question, I had received an email in December to email/fax my supporting docs but at the time I did not as i was looking at the FSW program. Would that have any effect on my new application at all?
