Employment letter - No end date

[cec_canada]

Hi -

I submitted my application this month and just got worried about my reference and employee letters.
Is it OK if my employer did not put an end date to my letters since I am still currently employed in the company?

In my imm0008_8e, I entered the TO DATE as the date when I submitted my application (since again I am still currently employed).

My reference letter was saying:
"I was employed since XXX until now". Letter was dated, of course (and difference between this date and XXX was more than 1 year)
It was not a problem, I got MR

Hi - I think that would be suffice. Please ensure ur duties are matching to ur NOC, Annual Salary and Working Hrs per week (optional).
My letter does not say any end date .. just emntioned the employee is hired for this postion on XXXX-XX-XX and since he is working with abc company and so on ......
No worries .. everything will be ok. Good Luck

Hi,

Your reference letter does not need to have an end date. It will however have the date when the letter was generated/created to provide to you. Your letter should also have a hire date. If the difference of the letter generation date and hire date is 1 year or more then you should be fine as CIC requires you to have at least one year of work experience to apply for PR under CEC category. Hope this helps. Best of luck on your PR journey.

It would actually depend on how the letter was written and the wording used.

Just because a letter is dated and states the start date of employment does not mean it's acceptable. You could have left after 2 months and the letter could be dated XX XX XXXX as you need it for CIC.

I'm assuming the wording makes clear that you were still an employee at the time of the letter being written. If this is the case, you should be fine.

Hi jsm,

If a reference letter is requested by the employee while He/she is still working in the company the reference letter will not have end date unless it is on a contract basis. But if an employee has already left the company and requests for a ref letter the letter will surely show an end date if a letter is provided at such time by the company.

It would usually have a start date and if the perso is still employed that would be made clear. The letter would also be dated.
