Oh that is not good :( did you altered or modified the letter? If they are suspicious they might say like this.

May be you need to write explanation letter with supporting documents like salary slips,offer letter, standard reference letter from HR about your employment with compensation details.
no i did not modify but i got the letter made as per my requirements from HR. does it help if i attach salary slips? how do they verify employment letters? do they check the company website or simply email them?

I am okay thanks.
It's really just not cool that LVO do as they like. I was really hoping you would get your PPR by this month. Well the month is not over. I am hoping before the end of the month you get some good news.

It is all Not applicable for me over here. Like you, seems like my app is also at the mercy of an officer.

Almost at the 4 months mark for me. I have not emailed to ask about status. But I guess at the four months mark it's a good time to start bugging the hell out of them until they get tired and work on our app! :)

Did you send them an email recently about the status of your app?

I have just received a message from CIC saying that my employment letter is fraudulent. they have given me 30 days to submit relevant documents otherwise my application may be rejected.

Can anyone help me understand why they think the letter is fraudulent?? how does CIC verify experience letters?
You are lucky that you have been given the chance to clear whatever doubts that your case officer have concerning your app.

So, what they are saying is that your employment letter is fraudulent. Which means they are not saying the company doesn't exist but, the letter you have provided was not issued by the company to you.

Basically, they mean you do not work for the company and you forged the letter claiming you do.
What evidence did you provide as work experience apart from the reference letter?

Have any other applicant applied using the same company in the past or currently? Most times cic have list of all companies that applicants claim as experience in their system, there might have been an information mismatch or when your employer was contacted no one could identify you as an employee.

I suggest you try and provide the following;
1. New dated reference letter.
2. letter from your hr indicating that you work with the company and validating that they issued you a previous letter dated 00/00/0000.
3. Job offer letter.
4. Business card of as many colleagues that can vouch for you as possible. If they can also include letters stating that they work with you this will be fab.
5. Pictures of you in front of the company, inside the company, and at your work space. Include pictures that if you are not an employee you will not be able to take.
6. Pay slips and bank statement showing salary deposits.
7. If you come from a country were paying taxes is a thing then submit your income tax.
8. Your employee ID, and any official letter you might have received during your employment with this company. Outdated letters signed by the same person that signed your reference letter.
9 and more evidence as you see fit.

You will need a cover letter when submitting your evidence. So write a letter explaining all documents submitted. Do not forget to be nice when writing your letter.


Also you should apply for your gcms notes if you haven't.you have 30 days you might get your notes before the 30days.


I hope this gets resolved and you get your PPR soonest!

All the best!

I think they already called your employer and whoever answer that call didn't confirm what was written in your reference letter..

You are applying from which country Piracha123 ?

Your situation is actually easy pezzy. Contact London office and inform them you will be returning to your home country on 00/00/0000 and will like to please change your visa office.

Just explain your situation and they will direct you on what to do next or where to send your passport.

Congrats and all the best!

First They contacted me in reply to my UCI query and told that my app is awaiting officers' review. that was on ....10 march.
Then i sent them email on 28 march and they replied me that it is still awaiting officers' review.
they dont bother to the email. i m so sick of lvo. they r the worst.
