hi I have received quite a few PMs asking for the template I used for not being able to obtain the work reference letter in the IRCC format . Hence I am putting it up here for anyone who wishes to use it.
below is the text from my LOE. printed on plain paper, signed and scanned. I did not feel the need to notarize etc. Also it helped that my organisation is a well known global MNC, so you may need to alter your submission accordingly and provide as much documentation as you can.

Re: LETTER OF EXPLANATION FOR (FULL NAME) (EE PROFILE XXXXXXX)
Respected Sir/Ma’am,
I, (FULL NAME), residing at (CURRENT ADDRESS), hereby solemnly affirm that particulars furnished by me in this application are true, to the best of my knowledge and I have not concealed any facts.
I am writing this letter to clarify aspects of my PR application, for which I have been facing difficulties in gathering the IRCC mandated documentation. Alternatively, I have detailed the additional information uploaded in my E-APR which will hopefully suffice in making a fair judgement of my case.
A. Work reference letter for current employment – (NAME OF COMPANY)
With regards to the ‘Proof of Work experience’, I am unable to obtain the work reference letter for my current employment with (NAME OF COMPANY), in the IRCC required format. I have relentlessly pursued the HR department but to no avail, as they produce employee verification requests in the standard template (which I have uploaded in my application). I cannot approach my senior management team; as discussing my PR application at this early stage would put me in an uncomfortable position regarding my employment with the company for the immediate future.
Hence, in the absence of the same, I have enclosed the below listed documents:
1. Solemn affirmation by self, certifying my service with (COMPANY NAME)
2. Experience Letter from (COMPANY NAME) confirming my employment with the company
3. Offer/Appointment and confirmation Letter
4. Annual Compensation statement
5. Pay slips for the last three months
6. Form-16, as issued by the company for Income Tax filing for Financial Year16-17
It is my humble plea that you consider the documents I have submitted and I am hoping you will find them in accordance with the standards of IRCC.
Should you need any further clarifications or documents, kindly do not hesitate to contact me on
(Mobile): xxxxxxx or (Email): xxxxxxxxx
