Hi Seniors. A company I worked for previously does not want to issue reference letter for me. Fortunately, I stayed in touch with a previous project manager who now works in another company in a different state. With respect to helping with reference letters, can he send me the reference letter via email or email body? Who needs to notarize the letter, him or me? does anyone know if online notary is ok to use as this is easier to use for someone on a busy schedule?

I appreciate your insights.

Do you need that job for points? Remember experience maxes out at 3 years. You're not required to get a reference letter for all the jobs you've worked in

It is surprising to hear companies refusing to provide reference letters. In a way I would think it is their responsibility to provide one. Nevertheless getting a reference letter from project manager will do as well. I would take the time to get it notarized. Any time you spend now will only help you later in the process by avoiding ADR or delays
