Hi,

After a long war of words, I finally managed to procure a reference letter from my company! The trouble is that they wrote the following line at the end:
"This letter is issued at request of employee to apply for Green Card"

Should I follow up with them and ask them to correct this mistake or let it go as it would not matter much?? Advices/Suggestions are much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

PS: 'Green Card' is not in bold in original letter. I put it in bold to emphasize it.

If possible replace Green card with Permanent Residence. It is surprising that you were able to change the font in your reference letter.

Definitely - change it to Permanent Residence application in Canada. Though i had no such line in my letter, but if there has to be one, better to have it correct.

all the best.

Thanks for the quick reply guys.. Appreciate your input. I will ask my company to change it and issue a new ref letter.

@kevin: my ref letter has the word 'green card' in normal font. While typing the line, I made it bold. Of course, I cant change font in there... :)

My employer has not mentioned that it is for permanent residency,is that okay?
The Document Checklist sets out the requirements for reference letters - it does not mention any requirement for a reference letter to state that it is for permanent residency purposes.
