Re: Received Communication From Immigration Officer

Closely matching but not copying word-for-word the identified duties as they are listed on the website, (http://www5.hrsdc.gc.ca/NOC/English/NOC/2011/QuickSearch.aspx?val65=2173) ask your supervisor/hr officer to format the body of the work experience letter somewhat like the following...

To whom it may concern:

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing this to confirm that Mr. xxx worked as a [job title] at [company name] on a [full time/part time] basis of xx hours a week between the dates of dd/mm/yyyy and dd/mm/yyyy. Mr. xxx's main duties during this employment consisted of the following:

[summary of duty 1]
[summary of duty 2]
[summary of duty 3]
[summary of duty 4]
[summary of duty 5]
[summary of duty 6]
[summary of duty 7]
[summary of duty 8]
[summary of duty 9]
[summary of duty 10]

During this employment Mr. xxx ‘s starting annual salary was $x and final annual salary when he left the position was $y.

A good job related reference letter gives many details. It lists the projects you worked on, and the achievements you accomplished. Very importantly, it should also describe your day-to-day duties and tasks. These daily tasks may seem mundane, but they often demonstrate that you perform the duties of a certain position, and that you possess the required basic skills. It is important that the letter demonstrates that you know the basic skills of your position, and that you have already been trained in them. At a minimum, the letter should state your position, the length of your employment, salary, and a summary of your duties.

Letters that only indicate position, salary, and a statement that “he was a very good employee and we would hire him again” are not be sufficient! These letters are missing the important details of the applicant's roles and responsibilities while working with the company and will cause rejection of your application. Luckily NSNP operates in lenient way where they give us an opportunity to make clarifications before rejection.

Letters from your current and former (if any) employers describing your work experience are a very important part of your application. These letters should be detailed and must show the Canadian Immigration officer that you performed certain work activities for a specific duration in accordance with your skills and qualifications. It is also advisable to include a few pay stubs or copies of work contracts if available. It is highly advisable that the letter is on the company's original letterhead, showing the company's full address, contact details, and be stamped with the company's official seal. Importantly, the letter should include contact details and signature for the person that wrote the letter.

Good luck...

Hello Mapleback,

Hello People,

Thank you all for the input in this thread, it has been very helpful. I checked the list of the applicants who have applied so far. How do you guys know when NS has received your application? I sent a courier to Halifax on 22 May 2015 and have yet not heard from them about my application. I called their office to ask and they said 'Due to high volume, we may take up to 5 months to reach a file'. My query is

1. How did you know the date they received the application? Did they reply with an email or something?

2. The 'total points' mentioned in that document, what're those about?

3. Don't we have to send the documents directly to Halifax, why have people sent to the regional Visa Offices?

Please help
Thanks

You are new so I understand your confusion. First when you send your parcel to NSOI in Halifax you will not receive any mail from them, you can only get the date your parcel was recieved from the courier company.
Then you need 67 points to apply for this NS Demand Entry, you should check out the website/application guidelines to calculate your scores. Thirdly, you send your parcel to Halifax but you indicate your visa office and it's up to CIC to send your package to the visa office in charge of your country for further processing. I wish you the best.
