Does Job reference letter has Expire Day?

[TADF chemist]

I am in post-ITA stage and I am uploading files.

I have worked in Canada since Oct 2017 to Sep 2019 and I got the reference letter Oct 2019, i.e. two years ago. Is two-year-ago letter acceptable for Express Entry?

My letter was also given in 2019. I’ll join your thread cuz I also would like to know that.

As long as it has the mandatory information - duties, time worked, salary - then the letter is valid.

I also tend to believe my letter is alright, i.e. the issue date of the letter should be later than the amount of time you worked. Also my company was a Canadian University, IRCC should be able to clarify it should they want to do.

If the letter is dated AFTER you left the company and covers the duration of work you were claiming points for, that’s fine to use. Plus, of course, all needed details by IRCC should be in there.

I just found out the employment length letter by HR was issued on 1st Oct 2019 (should be no problem for this one, I have worked in Canada since Oct 2017 to Sep 2019)

However, the job description letter from my supervisor was written on 5th Sep 2019, but in this letter he clearly wrote the job was till end of September, is this OK?

I don’t follow. You have two reference letters for the same job?

YES, one from HR to prove salary, date of employment and hours
Another from supervisor, prove job duties.

I see, not sure on your supervisor’s letter. Afaik, letters should be dated after the duration of previous employment for it to be valid. Is it possible for your supervisor to give you another letter? Just change the date post-September 2019?

I just got an updated letter. So no worries now.
