Hmm thanks...but as i understand da abive letter also called reference letter...and inthink we can provide the supervisor letter as reference ryt?

Yes. Mostly you will get it on a normal paper from your supervisor, which you can get notarized and submit along with a copy of his/her employee id card and visiting card. You can also keep an LOE explaining why you will not be able to get it on the company letter head.

Letter from my employer will contain all other info, but not manager's name. Do you see any issue with that?

Should be fine. Just ensure that the name and designation of the officer who issues the letter is mentioned (in addition to their signature).

I understand your concern, therefore, I would suggest the following, you can give it a try.
1. Draft the letter with the details that you want in the letter, get your supervisor to review it and then try talking to HR explaining why the letter is required in this format. Get your supervisor also to speak to HR. Still if HR is unwilling to give you the letter in the required format, try and get the letter in whatever format they give it to you.
2. If your supervisor can give you a letter with all these details, please get the letter notarized and get a copy of his employee id and visiting card as well.
3. Prepare a Letter of Explanation (LOE) stating why you had to do the above and send everything (LOE, both the letters, emploment contract, pay stubs etc) it as part of the application package.

Dear
I m expericing the same issue. In CIC website it's mentioned that it has to be in letterhead and signed by immediate supervisor or colleague.

Is it necessary that we need to provide CIC letter issued only by Hr?
We can make convince our supervisor and with his sign and other details and give it to CIC
Pls suggest ur view point

If there is no way you can get a letter issued by the HR/manager/supervisor on the letter head, then you have no other way, but to look for alternatives to prove and convince the Case Officer the genuineness of your situation. So, if you can arrange as many documents as possible, stronger your case becomes. But that is not a guarantee for it to be accepted, for some people it was accepted while for some it was not. I would suggest the following.
1. Get copies all the documents which evidences your employment (employment contract, offer letter, pay stubs, tax papers, appraisal letters, promotion letters, bank statement to show salary credits etc)
2. Since you said that your manager can issue you a letter (I am not sure whether you meant on the letter head), get it on white paper, get it notarized, along with a copy of visiting card and employee id card copy (also if you have any communication where your HR refuses to provide you the letter, please keep a copy of the same as well)
3. Prepare an LOE explaining your situation and submit your documents.

Thanks,

Well, this is what section 3.1 in the Application Guide says, 'Stamped with the company’s corporate seal (if applicable).'

Now, there are some companies which do not seal its letters as most of it is generated online and sent with digital signatures (no printouts). So in such cases, we can assume that the above statement holds good. But, if all of your other company issued documents has a corporate seal, then it is an indication that the company has the practice of stamping its documents with company seal. So, if you have answer to justify why only the reference letter does not have a seal, then you have no cause for concern.

Need more help on point no 2. Actually I didn't convince manager, however one of my senior colleague who is still working that company can sign on my request.

My concern is would it be ok to take that jd print in letterhead? Or white paper with notarized would be ok?

I felt letter head would be safer.. And if in future they go for background check they may call him isn't? As Hr is not cooperative so I don't see any other options.

Pls suggest

Wow, if you are getting it on the letter head, go for it. Yes, they call the person who gave the reference, so ensure to give his full contact details (contact number, official email address) and also keep copies of his visiting card and company ID card.

All the best!!
