Regarding Employer letter

[india1981]

Hi,
I applied for PR (CEC) from India in the month of JAN,2013. I worked for the same employer in CANADA around 2 years.
After that, I returned to India.
Employer letter was given on India letter head because I had taken letter from india HR.

My lawyer was fine for "letter from india" because in CEC checklist, no where mentioned that address on the letter head should be CANADA address.

Now, by seeing the rejection cases, what if they reject just by showing this reason..
Seniors, please suggest what kind of preventive actions should I take to avoid such problems..

Btw, I got AOR on March 05th.

Regards,
Srinivas

Although your employer is a MNC and you were in Canada on ICT, it is the safest thing to get a new reference letter from your Canadian employer (on the same lines issued by your Indian Employer). I am not sure how confident is your lawyer with you submitting NOA and T4 but it definitely gives some scope for the VO to question your employment and it may adversely impact the outcome.

I'm on ICT. My lawyer was clear the letter had to be from canadian division as vo must be satisfied that you were working for the Canadian division and being managed by them. Just get the letter from Canada.

Thank you friends..

When I applied for PR with India employer letter, my lawyer mentioned in the self explanatory letter that since I am working in India, company will give the letter only from India HR dept.That is what my HR told when I requested. However, they are ready to give letter from Canada dept now...

Now,if I submit another letter from Canada HR dept, will the VO raise concern on the conflicting statement?
Assume that VO has this concern,now,what kind of explanation I can give??

Please reply..this is concerning me a lot...

Just make sure that the new letter from your Canadian employer is in line with the one you earlier submitted. There should be no deviation in the content particularly with Duties and Responsibilities. You can write a covering letter to CIC explaining that you were on ICT and the letter you earlier submitted was from Indian HR and now that you are providing is from the Canadian employer. This to give clarity on your employment in Canada. This is very much acceptable because they are not two different employers but the same.
Strongly recommend > CHANGE YOUR LAWYER

Thanks Andy..

roles and responsibilities/ Duties will be same.. but wording will be changed as both the HRs cannot write the same content as it is..

There is probability that format of the letter will be changed but the information ( i.e, canada work start date, end date, designation, fulltime/parttime, etc...) will not be changed..

Do you think any other precations i should take while submitting the letter.
