Is there any way you can get in touch with your old manager who can write a certifying letter for you to back this up? That might help.

Actually i asked with company director and he is not having company letter head as the company is already closed.

But he is saying if you have any alternative solution, i can be able to help you.

So in this situation, what i have to ask with him to write for me to give proof to immigration?will it be acceptable to write in a blank paper or on letter head or on any affidavit from govt?

I would like to know if it’s mandatory to provide work experience of every company I’ve worked with. The reason I ask this is because it’s been around 10 years since I left the first company. The second one has closed down so I’m not sure if it’s possible to get a reference letter. I do have the offer & relieving letters from both companies though. Will that suffice? Could anyone suggest some options?

Assuming you are talking about foreign work exp...
You get maximum points for 3 years work exp in the last 10 yrs only... so you can show any 3 yrs work exp from a single or multiple companies backed up by letter of refernces.
For work exp which you cannot provide letters highlight them inpersonal history section of your application

Hi,
I was working in a company 3 years back and the company has recently closed down. My supervisor back then as well MD of the company is ready to give me a reference letter on the company's letterhead but the company has already closed down.
Will it be a problem to get the letter on letterhead even if the company has closed down. What is the alternate solution to this?
