🇨🇦 Reference letter for job experiences (Canada Expess Entry 2018) 

I haven't seen anyone who takes so much time and patience to explain stuffs to his audience as you do...thank you so much brother.

Thank you Dream Abroad, I was exactly expecting this video from you. 😊

Hi Brother, Its me Rizwan, a youtuber in Dubai. All of your video are very important and full of information and I would like to thank you for making such videos for those who are interested to go to Canada. I have a request, could you please make a video for an express entry with spouse.? What are the requirements for spouse? And the how the points of the spouse are going to add in express entry? Please one video. Thanks

Thank u soo much sir....I was really worried to get this from my past employer...so now after watching this everything sorted out. Thanks again.

Firstly I thank you very much for this valuable information. Could you please upload the document format in the description. So that everyone can watch it clearly.

Brother God Bless you. Your channel is one stop solution for everything related to Canadian Immigration. Your Avid supporter. Thank you for everything. Hopefully would get the honour of meeting you some day :)

government employees need lor and is it admissible?

Thank you so much. It was a kind of eye opener for me. My previous company where i worked for 3 years closed due to financial conflicts and I was about to remove it from my application as I was unable to get any reference letter.

Dear Sheetanshu, I am an Indian. Very nice of you to help so many people.please guide me also: (1) Suppose I have 1 year 9 months continous experience on regular basis at a workplace(school teaching) and then bits of experience on ad hoc basis in college teaching , 4 years 8 months in total, can this total experience be clubbed to 6 years of teaching experience to get eligibility marks (2)If one of the previous employers compel someone to resign (suddenly without a notice due to some dirty politics), and they are the only employers with whom we have had a continous experience of 1 year9 months in the past 10 years, then on what pretext can we get a reference letter from them.(3)Can guest teaching on hourly basis help to get the 67 eligibility points. Could you please make a separate video covering these points

Thank you so much for this video. You have explained all the doubts which i had. Once again thank you so much. :-)

Its surely a matter of relief. Pl consider providing some statistical info of past cases which were approved and which were rejected using this alternative approach . Only to get a feel of the probability of one’s outcome in the matter

Very informative on THE main bottleneck faced by most PR aspirants esp from countries like India However the screenshots of Affidavit / other formats were not legible even in landscape mode. If u can therefore provide a link to their PDF files which your viewers can access, that would be great Thanks

Firstly, I appreciate your clear, crisp and to the point kindof approach. Can we use part time employment eg: research assistant at the University while pursuing Masters and if that employment is less than 20hrs per week for like 15 months.

The HR personnel from my previous company refused to give a reference letter because he didn't know me personally. We weren't peers as i had left the company long ago. The information provided in this video would really help someone like me to get the job done.

Thank you for the piece of information as the video clears number of doubts regarding References. However, another important concern with me is that... Q] Will I be getting a PR having only 1 year Work Experience as of now? Although factors like Age(23), Bachelors-4 years, IELTs (CLB 9) are upto the mark. Thanks...

Very useful information, I have few questions if you can answer 1. I have worked in 3 companies prior to my current one, do I have to submit reference letter for all the previous companies? 2. If yes, I don't have any friends in touch to get the details. I have also tried to get in touch with all the companies and they are ignoring. What should I do? 3. I have my relieving letter, appointment letter from all the companies, does that work ?

Very interesting way of clarifying ambiguous things.many thanks

Your information is always helpful, could you please let me know how to update the IELTS score in the application.Tons of thanks

hello thanks for you video. please share the format also. So that we can open directly and do the necessary editing

This is such an awesome video and extremely helpful to a lot of people. Hearty thanks for doing this! I’ll promote the channel as well. ❤️

Wow! Thank you for this information! But I want to be extra clear about it. Here is my situation.... I'm currently living here in the Philippines and it happens that I work FULL TIME freelancer as a Multi Media Creative (Art Director, Video Editor) for a Canadian citizen which is a RU-vidr, and it's almost one year. Do I have a chance to have this category? Or should I say does it qualify me as an experienced worker for Canada? Thank you so much. I will look forward to hearing from you soon. 😊

Hi Dream Abroad, Thanks for your clarification after getting the PR which choice will be the effective way, 1. Search and got the job immediately. 2.Apply and get the PNP program first then search for a job in Canada.

You are simply Brilliant

I hope the reference letter will be enough..my previous company did not give any payslips, job offer, promotion letter or any documents related to the job which is so annoying

In shipping company reference letter. How it was ? Have any idea .....so share with me thank you

God bless u deep from heart u give accurate solutions

Thank you Dream Abroad for all the informative videos :) I have a question. I had my own startup for three years and now I am in a job. What documents are acceptable as evidence of business ownership? Thank you

Hi Thanks for this very informative video I have few queries though : 1.We need to obtain an email with the shown format from a colleague / supervisor of previous employer ? 2.Along with the same we need to have a self attested affidavit to declare the info is true on a stamp paper 3.Refusal email from the company Could you please confirm if this will work for sure 🙏? Also I have more than 5 years work experience ,I have added details of my prev employer as it was 3.8 years experience (which is more than 3 and I can claim max points ) and remaining tenure is in my current company for which I cannot obtain such letter for obvious reasons .Would this be a problem ?

Thank you for this video, Dream Abroad. I need to know that my previous company has closed all its businesses but my reporting manager as well as MD of the company still has the company letterhead with them and ready to write a reference letter for me. In this case, what should I do? Please help !!

My current employer is saying no for reference letter.I can take that sign of immediate supervisor.Do I need to get that notarized?

Thank you very much for this information, I worked as a nurse years but in my country and I had a scholarship to further my education, my problem now is how do I get a reference letter from my employer since it’s a health organization.

Nice information. What’s date format (DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY) I suppose to use in reference letter? Is it acceptable if I get reference letter from my manager on the company official letterhead with his signature?

Dear Shutanshu. Highly appreciate your effort and time you have put in to create this video. My wife is a dentist in India and runs her own clinic. How can she get the reference letter(s)? Does letters from visiting specialists on her clinics letter head or their clinics' letter head? Clinic registration document? This is at a later date, after a couple of years after clinic was actually opened. Letter from bank manager because it is a dentists/doctors exclusive type of account? Earnings are below income tax limit and so no documents available; any more specific suggestions / inputs will help us a great way and boost our morale. Thank you :)

Thank you for the video. I wanted to understand, that since I am preparing the reference letter and sending it to the employer and they are verifying and replying back, the format will be same for all the three, will there be a problem? Also, do the investigating officers call or email and check with the company, this information or how do they verify the documents, this is just for my knowledge only.

Hi Sheethanshu, My heartful thanks & regards to you for your excellent videos. After watching your video, I became more confident to initiate the Canadian PR process on my own without going through a consultant. Now, I have applied WES and awaiting the evacuation report. Meanwhile I would like to take ur suggestion on 2 points, 1.) Is it advisable to consider a job change in India (in the same job profile), and would it have any impact on the PR process. 1st Company- 4.5years 2nd company- 6 months Present company- 6 months & running. New company- Im considering, but im skceptical as it should not affect my PR process. 2.) If I switch to another job after filing EOI, can I update the new job details in the EOI profile? Would appreciate your response. Regards Ajay

For present job - what documents should be uploaded? Reference letter can't be obtain

Hi. Thanks for the video. From how many companies should I show the Reference letter? The reason I am asking is I was on career break from 2010 to 2013 November. From November 2013 I am continuously working...

Thank you so much. It was such a relief. As my previous employer is rejecting this. I was in dilemma what to do and there comes your life saver video. Thanks a ton 🙏

Hello! I and my wife don't want to seek experience letter from our current organisations as it would create unnecessary noise and trouble. 1)Excluding current experience, we both have >3 years of experience 2)We have experience letters for our primary NOC from our past companies Can i safely delete current experience and move it to personal history section, and explain the same in letter of explanation (that current employer is not providing experience letter) ?

Great video and clarification. Thank you so much, may god bless you..:)

THANK-YOU Shitanshu Really really helpful!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you dream abroad, your videos are very helpful!

Someone said the right thing: " One Educated person makes thousands of better lives and Future." A here Educated person is #DreamAbroad. and he makes others future and lives better

Thank you so much sir for such a great information. I would be greatful if u could provide a video for self-employed people, such as, I am a doctor and have my own clinic after completing graduation. I just have experience of internship. So i would be thankful to u if u could provide a video that is benefitted for me or the self employers and health professionals. Thank u in advance

Tq very very thanks my friends

Thank you for sharing important knowledge. I would like to know “Does part time work experience is accepted ? I am working from last 2 year as a restaurant manager but 50% so I would like to add 1 year work experience to my application. Pls comment....

These are the best videos

Thanks for the Information Dream Abroad!! Are there any guidelines on how old the dates and stamps on reference letters can be. Can i start working on my reference letters now ( I don't have an ITA yet, just an aspirant)

Thanks a ton for such a informative video. 🙏

Hi Sheetanshu !! Thanks for making such videos and for all your efforts to clear our doubts. God Bless You. Please suggest, If i can reach you in mail for clear my points in my application scenario ? Hope you will answer. Thanks once again.

Hi..You made a video for NOC code, which I saw it. But, My question is If you have work position, which is related to your education field, but it’s not match with your NOC code, what should we do?

Hi Shitanshu. Just a quick question. Why is an affidavit necessary? Surely we can provide all these points in the letter of explanation?

Hello, I couldn't find something related to how to calculate work experience. I want to know if the 1 year of work experience (continuous, no gaps) that makes you eligible can be accounted only in the last 3 years or within the last 10 years? I mean, I can have multiple jobs in 10 years all related to my NOC and for more than 1 continuous year but maybe I don't have that in the last 3 years for any reason (as studying). How I make the calculation? Thank you for your help, your videos are very useful.

Hlo shitanshu.. My questions are:⚫(1) Should reference letter have heading "To whom it may concern" or can be any other? ⚫(2)is it necessary to mention in reference letter that employee is applying for Canada PR? ⚫(3) my job experience documents don't have any reference number on them because my employer did not provide any such number. Will it have any negative effect on my PR file? ⚫(4) i got increments annually. So which salary should I mention - initial or latest? ⚫(5) i didn't get salary in account. It was in cash. Does it matter in case of express entry or PNP? ⚫(6)my CRS is 383. noc is 1221.Should i apply for Alberta PNP or Prince Edward PNP? ......waiting for your reply

EXCELLENT INITIATIVE...MANY THANKS

Thanks for this helpful video. Sir, I have a problem. I am 29years old & i have worked 7years at retail medicine shop, then 6months in a company, and now working under a import agent but its not a famous & big size company, it has only 4 workers, 1) Owner 2) Cashier 3) Office Assistance + computer operator 4) Tea Boy my position is 3) Office Assistance + computer operator. So could i apply in express entry program as a computer operator with this business company pad- is it grant in Canadian law

Hi thank you. Do you think I should get my colleague’s signature on the letter?

Very informative 👍and helpful

I usually don't comment on videos often. But what you are doing is great, keep up the work. The videos you put out has given me tremendous confidence that I can apply without a consultant and trust me, buddy, you helped me save lakhs. And I would also request you to do a video on documents required if your relatives stay in Canada and what and all is required and who all come under this umbrella of relatives. I have my grandmother's younger brother who is a Canadian citizen so can I include him in my express entry?

Thanks for info. what if company not ready to provide reference letter ?

Hi if I have the right format of the experience letter from the company, still do I want to submit the pay slips, etc..?

In point no. 3 "prepare an affidavit, hence you have arranged his/her reference letter" Who's reference letter you are pointing to? In this point?? Please make clear.

Hi Shitanshu.. excellent videos bro... I have gained so much insight through your help. A quick question/request... plz post a video showing the reference format/methodology/process for a self employed individual..particularly a self employed doctor.. I ll be greatly indebted. Many thanks

Hey, I have work experience of more than 8 years with 5 years in a single organisation.Since CRS score is maximum for those 5 years,is it necessary that I should have reference letter for other organisation as well.Pls reply

Hi Dream Abroad, Could you please suggest which will be the more effective option to choose 1. Getting job offer directly in Canada through express entry 2.Getting PNP then search for a job in Canada Which will be the more effective one for future career.

Make a video about short language courses duration six months,how can we apply how can we get visa ...all details kindly....?!!!

Excellent review and advice

@Dream Abroad please tell me is it necessary to have exact roles and responsibilities in reference letter as mentioned against selected NOC.

Hi all, Ideally, a letter of reference should address the visa officer, canadian high commission or better to put " to whom it may concern" Please reply

Informative. Thankyou.

Thank you...but do they ususally contact or call the company to confirm?

Thanks for the video on reference letters. If my previous employers are no longer into business how do I get reference letters from them. Kindly guide.

Hi , first of all your videos are of great help . Secondly, I want to go British Columbia as I am a respiratory therapist , I think that is the best province for me to work in. My problem is that my Express entry score is just 376 but my crs score is 67 and my agency told that I can nominated for pnp program . Well it depends on the province if they choose you . My question is that please let me know how I can get nominated for the British Columbia province ? I can't get appointed letter from British Columbia province. Is there any other way to be nominated for British Columbia province

As for annual salary, can we get the last drawn salary for the past 12 years ? And is it needed to prove ?

Good Video. Thank you Would it possible for you to share the format of the affidavit??

thank you for this video ! I'm currently studying in Canada and I want to apply for the PR after I graduate. I have 2 years work experience from my home country, I was employed as a computer technician at the city I was living in, however my supervisor doesn't speak English, so I'm worried what would happen if they want to inquire about my experience ? thanks in advance.

Very Useful viedo..can i do MS or any other course after having this visa or its only for job purposes only.

I submitted reference letter from my dependent wife.. however i notice a little mistake on the start date of her letter. I am the principal applicant. Does the mistake matter? Knowing that she is only my dependent? In the opening sentence of the letter it is correclty stated... but in the duties and resoonsibilities section there a typo error on start date. I know should not have submitted it and just include it in personal history.. but i known this a bit late 😔

Thanks a lot sir....

Hi, Thanks for the valueable information. I have 10 years of work experience in 4 different companies and having all the letters. But unable to get 'Reference Letter' as you mentioned. Because in India previous employers doesn't entertain Ex-employee and refuse to provide. Affidavit can arrange but no reply from previous employers. Can you please advise if we use only affidavit will it work for further process?

Thank you for the information but I want to know that if the company is closed and I have to submit the reference letter so what should I do?

Hi Sheetanahu, when detailing the responsibilities, is it fine to include generic details or is it required to be specific mentioning project names , specifics?? Pls reply

Dear Sir, Is it required to have salary and benefits mentioned in experience letter from past employee also?

My present job does not match the job code I have mentioned in my application.. The job code that I have mentioned matches my previous jobs.. Should I not mention/ get reference letter for my current job?

When do I have to attach this Reference letter? As I see, this is not needed during online profile creation

Can you post something about cases where study and work are not directly relevant?

Thanks for wonderful video. I received a letter from my company, only 3 bullets points are mentioned. They just written a generic letter that slightly matches with my NOC code. Do I need to arrange a well descriptive letter?
