Reference letter

[Dimitris]

My concern is that in EE profile I put 3 months canadian work experience through a temporary agency after that I get hired as a dull time to the company who at the beginning I was a temporary. My problem is I asked from the temporary agency to provide me a reference letter and they refused do that ( as many you know temporary agencys suck ) what would you recommend to me to do know. Should I give to cic an explanation letter with my 3 months T4 or ........ ? Need help. Thank you.

Typically, when you are employed by an agency but working at the client site, you need two letters - one from your actual employer (the agency) with info on dates of employment, wages/salary/remuneration, and basic info about your assignment/location. And then you need one from the client who actually witnessed you performing the work - their letter would describe your assignment (not "employment" since you are not their employee), including location, hours worked per week, duties & responsibilities (they typically do not know salary details).

Since your client ended up hiring you, I would expect that they have no problem issuing a letter of employment that also describes how you started working as a temporary employee. This is good.

You also have the T4 from the agency. A letter of explanation is a must - you should also give the name and contact information of someone at the agency - as well as any evidence you have that the agency refuses to write the letter (e.g. if the refusal is in an email...).

If you have all those things, CIC will usually give you credit for those three months...

I have 3 months as temporary and 20 months as a full timer. How about if I remove my 3 months from my EE what would happen? Or leave it as is with these 3 months without a reference letter.

Won't make a difference either way, since the 3 months won't push you into "2 years of experience" - if you can add another month and get 2 years, you would get a few more points.

But if your question is, can you safely leave the temp experience off of your profile, the answer is yes. If you receive an ITA, you will have to mention it on your background history, but as long as you don't put it on your profile, you won't be asked for the reference letter.

Since I'm not getting any extra points with this 3 months how about to write a LOE that I can't get a reference letter from but I have be honest with the EE profile me for my background. Do you think my application will rejected as missing reference letter ?
