If you are able to get the original reference letter for visa office it will be great, but in case you have only one original and there is no chance in the future to get again from same employer then send notarize copy and explanation too. If in case visa office will not send back the original then in future you can't use them in your references. Try to get the original from present employer and rest notarize copy will be fine.

Thanks

Icecube if you are applying to CIO Sydney you do not need to send the reference letters.
If you are in second stage and sending documents to Local Visa office send originals.

Request Visa office to return the original after processing and they will return it back to you

Ankit_20/ hmisabpk,

That was a big relief. Im in the second stage and having trouble getting copies of work contract from previous employers. Things get even worest when getting documents from out of the country.

What I do if I do not have employment contracts for previous employers? I never wanted to keep any contracts from previous employers and never knew that i would ever want them in the future.

can't the visa office just contact my previous employers and get everything sorted out with regards to my employments. The employers respond better for visa office's inquiries than resigned employees'

Any opinions?

You are right , In some cases employers are not friendly to ex-employees. But onus lies on applicant to prove his claims about his employment history. CHC can verify the claims by making calls etc or may even choose not to do so if they are satisfied with the documentation.

But to expect them to contact your previous employers and get everything sorted out is little too much. There are more chances that they do not approve the application for want of more evidence.

according to policy of my employer reference letter is only given to employee when he leaves a job

they also asks employee to leave a job if he/she is going to canada as an immigrant.

what should be done in this situation ??

I decided to attach explanation that according to their policy ....bla bla bla

and they are not ready to give me any reference letter though they are giving me all my certificates i.e exp certi(It does not contain duties and responsibility)transfer letter,salary slips,promotion letters,training letters(some of them are also of the duties which i mentioned)etc
so i am sending all these documents + explanation letter + affidavit which confirms all my duties..this is the only thing i can do ...next is IOs wish !!

I have got experience letter that shows the time since I am working with this organization and duties I perform with the organization. Now i have left the organization . I have not resigned . Is it a valid letter as a proof. Now I am overseas and cannot go back to my country to collect reference letter. Is it possible to show my experience letter that only shows the day when I started and the day I got that letter from my organization.

I am also in the same situation. All other documents are ok. Except for reference letter from current employer. I am currently working in Big4 audit firms. And my firms policy is not to issues any kind of reference letter to current employees. I am also planning to attach an explanation letter alongwith other support like, employment contract, promotion letters, and current salary certificate. Will this help. Any comments from the seniors???

Guys,

I have a question on reference letters. DO the letters have to be multiple pages? Or does 1 page is enough. I have got the letter from my employer with 8-9 concise points abt my duties.

is that sufficient?

also, i hv been with my current company for 3 yrs and that is the experience i am claiming against NOC0213. In that case, how critical are the letters from my previous employers?

thanks,
RG

Hi Guys,

Could you please share with me the format of employment reference letters. As, I need them due to my previous employer not willing to issue me the same on his letter head. I decided to get it from my colleagues. So, Please advise me in which format I should get them. I appreciate your kind responses to my post. Thanks.

below is the sample noterization for Letter of reference (collected...)

Sample noterization
Date:

SOLEMN AFFIRMATION



I the undersigned, (principal applicant), residing at ___________________________________, hereby solemnly affirm that from (date) until (date) I was employed by (company name) as (job title).

I worked (number) hours per week and was paid (salary) (weekly, monthly, yearly).

My main duties consisted of (main duties).

Main Duty 1
Main Duty 2
Main Duty 3
Main Duty 4
and so on and so forth.

I am unable to obtain a letter with the job description from my employer because the HR department doesn't provide any such letter with the job duties mentioned on it. The only thing they provide with is an experience letter with the designation and the tenure of the employment mentioned on it, that too at the time of relieving. I have that letter and I shall enclose the notarized copy of the same.
