Please clarify....

[JPMH_CEC_2013]

Hi All,
I have been reading regarding the reference letters a lot of times here.
I have been given an offer letter, when I started my job, and 2 reference letters now upon my request for CEC purpose.
Now, my offer letter has my job title, salary, start date, number of working hours per week and job responsibilities given by the HRD.
Both the reference letters have my job responsibilities. One is given by my manager and other by a senior peer.
But, I have read that reference letter should have job title, salary, start date, number of working hours per week and job responsibilities.
My question is can I submit my offer letter and these 2 reference letters with my CEC application or should my job title, salary, start date, number of working hours per week and job responsibilities be included in my reference letters only??

Hello, I would suggest that if you can, simply comply with the requirements,
and they are to provide a reference letter, which will list all those details that you mention.
The less complicated it is the better, just make sure that letter contains all the information that is required. I think information is mentioned in the guide and maybe even on the checklist. Make sure you are looking at the latest guide and checklist to have most up-to-date information.

I applied with different elements on different letters- duties, title, duration on a letter from my manager, and title, salary, and duration from payroll and my application was approved. As long as you submit the required information as per the checklist, in my case it didn't matter (in my case) that they were actually on 2 separate letters.

Your offer letter is less meaningful, as the CIC prefers to see that you actually performed the duties rather than what your offer showed that you would potentially be doing. The required information should be in your reference letters. Unless you think there's something your offer letter shows that your reference letter doesn't (there shouldn't be), I don't think it will be relevant submitting. YMMV.
