Whats the difference between Employment Record and Letter of Employment?

[LISON]

Whats the difference between Employment Record and Letter of Employment? My current job I have: Record of employment (which includes reference letter written as they asked) , Offer of employment (from my current job), what is letter of employment? Can I just use my reference letter? or do I have to ask my employers for a 3rd letter saying the same thing?

I think what you're referring to as an Employment Record is what everyone else calls a Letter of Employment (or even more commonly - work experience letter).
I'm assuming that they in this quote are IRCC. "which includes reference letter written as they asked"

I need to upload my documents for PR and they want me to give them employment records and letter of employment. I asked these documents in my company they gave me just varefication letter that showed everything what need to be in that letters. So I just have to load the same one for each of that letters?

I went into a client's profile to see exactly what you are referring to.

An employment letter is an official document printed on company letterhead stating that you will be employed in Canada by that company for a specified period of time. The employment letter must include your name, the details of your employment in Canada, and the company's contact information.

It may also include:

• details such as your tenure with the company
• your title, position and duties
• approved vacation periods (if travelling to Canada for holidays), or information about whether the company will cover all your travel expenses (if travelling on business for this company), etc

While a record of employment is:
You must provide proof of work experience for your current job and for each past position you listed. Proof must include a reference letter from your employer and pay stubs, if you have them. The reference letter must:

• be an official document printed on company letterhead
• include your name, the company's contact information (address, telephone number and e-mail address), the signature of your immediate
• show all positions held while employed at the company
• include these details: job title, duties/responsibilities, job status (if current job), the dates you worked for the company, the number of work hours per week and your annual salary plus benefits.

You must scan all documents for this period of employment and save them as one file. (You must create a separate file for each period of employment.) and finally

Document: Offer of Employment
You must provide a job offer letter from the employer who wants to hire you. It must be printed on company letterhead, and state that you will be employed permanently in Canada by that company. The letter must specify whether the job is:

• for continuous, paid, full-time work (at least 30 hours a week),
• for work that is permanent and not seasonal,
• skill type 0, or skill levels A or B of the 2011 National Occupational Classification (NOC)

(Note – in most cases, the job offer must be for a permanent job. For some types of jobs, it has to be for at least one year.)
The job offer letter must include contact information for the company (address, telephone number and email address).
