Have you claimed 600 points for LMIA approved job? The offer letter is most likely for that.

If you have claimed 600 points of LMIA then Offer letter is generally issued by the employer with brief details of the job alongwith package (normally 1-2 pages). Letter of Employment is the contract between employee & employer with concrete details of the package and job (normally 6-7 pages) + LMIA copy.

Good luck.

1. Offer of Employment - Current Job

Offer letter by the employer to you before starting the job
a. Should be stated on letter head
b. Should show your NOC
c. Job duties
d. Term of employment
e. Should be permanent and not seasonal

2. Letter of Employment - Current Job (I have read in one of the topics)

This can be in any form from employer to the employee (it should be close to the date of App submission).... but should show the details such as job duties, start date etc... on employer letter with address and phone number for future contact if necessary...

You need to submit 3 letters

1. Employment Records Previous/ Current Job (Reference Letter)

You must provide proof of each of your current and previous work experiences.
Your evidence should include a reference letter from your employer and previous pay stubs, where available.

The reference letter is an official document printed on company letterhead and must include
a. your name,
b. The company's contact information (address, telephone number and e-mail address),
c. The signature of your immediate supervisor or personnel officer at the company.
d. The letter should indicate all positions held while employed at the company and must include the following details:
i. job title, duties/responsibilities,
ii. job status (if current job),
iii. the dates you worked for the company,
iv. the number of work hours per week and your annual salary plus benefits.

You must scan all documents for this work experience and save them as one file. (Each work experience requires a separate file).

2. Offer of Employment - Current Job (Offer letter)
Offer letter by the employer to you before starting the job
a. Should be stated on letter head
b. Should show your NOC
c. Job duties

Ok .... i just confirmed this with CIC call center agent

LOE should state tht i am currently employed with the "so and so" company and continues in the same position and tasks as mentioned in the offer letter
