i have been asked. what wording we used
in the "updated letter of reference" letter from my employer.

so im posting it here for everybody..

this was my initial suggestion. and it was reworded slightly
at the office.. (i don't have the actual letter here)
but its pretty close.



---------------------------------------------------------
 

 COMPANY LETTER HEAD,

                                                    Date  12/12/1234

This is an updated letter of reference for
Mr.  First Name Last Name

Company Name,
Town B.C., Canada
is by this letter, confirming the continued and ongoing employment
of mr First Name  Last Name as job Title


  President
  First Name M Last Name     ______Signed_______
 

---------------------------------------------------------

im sure somebody can make up something more fancy
or whatever.
but this worked for me.

i was a bit apprehensive about it..
but nothing strange(phonecalls, questions)
ever came of it.. anyway

I also wish to provide an update for my PR application :)


My BC PNP nomination was approved last year and I started the PR process late last year.

Unfortunately, my employer has ceased all operations since the beginning of this year and I was "stuck" as a no-pay leave employee while waiting for my PR approval.

And same as Harry (pilot29), I was also asked for an updated letter of "ongoing" employment from my employer... The only difference is that I could not provide the consulate with such a letter due to my infinite no-pay leave situation.

Hence, I decided to make a phone call to the Consulate and explain my situation with them honestly.

Surprisingly I was told that they would seek advise from the BC officer that approves the nomination and make decision based on that.

On the other hand, I also contacted the BC officer and explained with him my situation and made a plead to him to continue my nomination. I recieved very positive responce from the officer and he wished to know more about my job seeking status.
I then provided him with my resume as well as job openings I found in BC that match my skill set (I am an software developer).

And !!!! I just recieved a phone call from the Consulate this afternoon. The designed officer of my case (she was VERY nice and helpful) informed me that such a letter from employer is no longer necessary as the BC officer has decided to continue his support of my nomination!

Wooohoo...what a happy ending :D. And Im really impressed with the efficiency of the consulate and the BC office over this matter. They have collected all the information and made the decision within almost a week!!

I just wish to thanks EVERYONE on this forum for all the help especially Harry for his kind help and all the info and updates!!

My passport was mailed out this afternoon and hope I get that soon, cross the border and get my PR for real!!!

Thank god! AMEN :)!

If your employer has not issued an ROE to you (when u were laid off) then dont worry.

Try to get employer signatures and if u cant get they will can cel .
