Hey...well explained video...Thsnk u soo much for this...i have one query..if we have 2 different job experinces so we have to make both reference letter??
Hi Rakshita, you'll need reference letters in this format for 'any' work experience in the past 3 years which you wish to claim CRS points for. If one of your prior jobs isn't at least 1 year (1,560 working hours) in the past, you can provide more than 1 reference letters to make up for that, provided your NOC code was similar for both jobs. Hope this clears your confusion. All the best for your application; have a great day!
This video is so well explained and so helpful ! Please make a video on the list of documents we need to provide as proof of work experience like bank statements, pay slips, Appointment letter, increment letter and promotion letters? Also can you provide the soft copy of the reference letter please?
Hi jason! That was much of help! But i have one question I have worked 3 jobs in one year ! And my 3rd employer is not mentioning any NOC code on job letter so it mandatory to mention the NOC code or job duties are fine ? As i consult some of RCIC agents and they said its mandatory ! Although my job is logistics coordinator but manager is not agreeing to mention the NOC code
Hi Jason, Thanks for the nice video I'm preparing myself to ircc based on your videos. I have 14 yrs of work experience in the IT industry with different roles and in the current company I have 6 yrs exp and I have changed to two different roles. My Question is 1. What should be the order my reference letter should be and do I need to get refrence letter from other company where I have worked earlier
Hey .. very well articulated video. Helps a lot. Thanks. I have 3 years experience as Software Engineer, 4 years as Senior Software engineer and now 1.5 years experience as Product Specialist in Canada. I got an ITA under CEC program. The non-Canadian experiences are in a different NOC codes (Type A) and the one here is NOC Type B. Please suggest. Thanks a lot in advance. Take care.
TY Sir, bless u! Is it true that we have to submit a table with a comparison of the job description (esdc noc) website and the duties listed in our reference letter and have this document with an affidavit?
Thank you for what you do for us here, you have been helpful, I worked as a cloud engineer in my company, the noc code Title is "Computer and information systems managers” What should I write on my reference letter, cloud engineer or the one title on the NOC code ?
Hey Jason, Hope you're doing fine. I have been following your channel for more than a year now, and I really appreciate the content you create for helping people like me who dream of making it to Canada. I have a query. I was promoted during one of my jobs and I am confused on what should be the format of work experience letter for this particular job. I shall be really grateful if you could guide me on that. Regards, Dr. Varun Gupta
Hi Jason, 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. Can you please advise any supporting document of 'Reference Letter' or alternate options to proceed further ?
Hi, it was very informative video about referral letter, could you please share the word format of the referral letter which you have made it. thank you,
For a work permit with LMIA. Do I need to provide only reference letter for the NOC code I am applying for, right? At the moment I am an electrician but I’ll apply for construction labourer, job I’ve done from 2016 to 2019, so I need to provide reference letter only for construction labourer right and not for the job I’m doing at the moment. Also, I worked for a labourer hire but during 3 years I worked for the same company. Who must do the reference letter, the foreman from the company I worked every day or the labourer hire, who paid me and has the name on my payslips?
hello Jason.. you are really doing a wonderful work here.. thanks alot. though i have a question. i still work in the company and i cant resign until atleast i get a replacement or PR in canada. i can get a refernce letter from my company, but i still work there, so how should they write the last two paragraphs of this letter since i still work there.
Thank you for the great information sir. Just quick question I have just finished my 1 year work experience. I joined this company in June 2021 through staffing service and they hired me full time in December 2021. I am working in same position since I joined. Just wanted to know how it works for the reference letter. Should I ask my company HR to include that I was working 6 months through staffing service or ask staffing service for a letter? can you please provide me an answer ? That would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
thanks for the info... but I have a question. What if there is no Stamp for the company, as I have 4 years of part-time experience in a restaurant as a manager. there are no stamps for the restaurants. how should I manage?
Hi, this video was really good and very explanatory. But I don't know my NOC or related job titles. My job title is Revenue Reconciliation Executive, I work under the Senior Revenue Manager and the Chief of Administration and Finance. I was thinking I could choose Administrative assistant from the Canada NOC website as my job title since I can't find Revenue Reconciliation Executive. Please I need your advice on this.
Hi Jason.. Thank you for such a informative video and information. It is really very helpful to process our PR without taking any help from consultancy. I have 1 query that if we do not get reference letter from our previous employers then in that case what can be done. What supporting documents can I give to prove my work experience.
Hi jason, your are doing great job..I have one question.. I have 9 years of work experience as Electrical Engineer.. Can I attach all my past companies reference letter??
Hi Elenita, a letter of intent is very similar to a letter of explanation, and it has ALL the same details. I'll make a video about it soon. Hope you have a great day!
Hi Jason , very informative video. I had one question, I have switched three different teams in the same company . Do I need to get reference letter from all different teams ??
Jason, you’re awesome! Have a doubt, besides this recommendation letter, do I have to attach additional information about my work experience? Pay slips, social security? In order to make it more reliable? Thank you
thanks sir for this information... now i understood the whole process everywell.... sir if i provide only the refeence letter, is that enough to proof my work exprecien
If I'm going for my Masters as a student should I already get refrence letters made from my employers and carry them and use them later ...after 3-4 years whenever I apply for PR?
Thanks for your detailed explanation videos of Canada immigration process, it's truly very informative and we are also truly obliged to you for providing ultimate, great , knowledgeable service to all of us . Hats off and salute....I would appreciate if you could clarify few queries such (a) is it necessary to mention in reference letter subject that the concerned letter is for Canada PR immigration or can be done without mentioning it ( as the same reference letter can be used for applying other countries too.? (b) can I get ECA for bachelor degree as well as for 1 year Diploma certificate too. Total 4 years of education for better CRS scores.?
@@DreamCanada thanks for replying....just to clarify...ECA for degree + diploma can be done through single application ? Can provide both certificates in same Application ?
Yes, you can do that. Kindly remember the following points specified by IRCC: - It can be an English or French translation stamped by a certified translator or accompanied by an affidavit from the person who completed the translation (If it is not possible to have the translation done by a certified translator) - The translation package should include a copy the original source document that was used by the translator, and the translation of all contents of the original document in either English or French. Both the source document and the translation must either be stamped by the translator or referred to in the affidavit - You'll need a scan of the original document, or a scan of a certified photocopy of the original document
Hi, Thank you so much for the video. It was very informative. I have one question. My HR manager is not providing me with the reference letter, can I take the reference letter from my reporting manager?
Hie Jason thanks for all the help u keep providing - my husband has 6 years of job experience from 4 companies - 3 of which were real estate and the latest one is from banking - which he is still working in - how do I go about ? We are yet to give the ielts and make a profile - should I start collecting these documents now - or should I wait ?
You should figure out your CRS score first, along with the NOC you will be applying under. Based on these details you'll get a fair idea of the programs you're eligible for, and approach them accordingly.
Nice video bro! I have 2 questions: 1. the manager I reported to left the company, is the signature of the current HR/HR manager acceptable? 2. since only 60 days will be given after invited, I want to request the letter before ITA. Is it ok if the date on the letter is earlier than the ITA date? Thanks!
That's a really awesome video and is of great help to me. I have one small query, I have been working in a company from more than 3 years now and had 3 different positions in this company. I heard that we need to shows all the positions with their time period, responsibilities, salary etc. separately but in your format there is just one job position and you asked to write about promotions in bracket. I am little confused about that. please clarify. It would also be really helpful if you can share the word file of your format. Thanks in advance.
Hi Ashank, IRCC always advises candidates to include ALL their positions in a single reference letter if all the positions were held at the same company. It always saves time & is much simpler than having 2 or more reference letters. All the best for your application; have a great day!
Hello..thank you for clear information..I have one doubt that I have total 8 years of experience in total 3 organization and currently in 4th one... so whether we need to do reference letter for all organization or current one?
Hi Jason, Could you please tell what to do in case the company is refusing to give an experience letter citing that it is not as per their corporate policy. I have the offer letter and the relieving letter and the payslips. Please let me know if there is any alternative way?
Hello, Do we have to submit reference letter of all the past job experiences? What if the job roles and responsibilities doesn't match slightly? Also what if I my second job was at a lower positions and the NOC code isn't similar for both the jobs, also do we require to submit our pay slips?
Hey! New follower here 🤗🤗 Can you please answer a few questions for me please: So I worked for a company for one year then left the job to do masters for 1 year, came back and joined another company where I am working for 5 months. My questions are 1. Should I ask the company that I worked for (who already provided me experience letter but not in this particular format) to provide me another letter? Or should I only submit one from my current company after completing 1 year? I mean is there an option to upload multiple offer letters. 2. I have another work experience under a different NOC where I worked for 4 months. Should I include that as well? 3. Can I apply to express entry with my parents or should I only apply as single candidate?
Hi thanks for the information but wanted to check as I'm applying for my PG Diploma would this format serve both the purposes of University application and later on for pr application
Hey Buddy, you are doing a great job. Thank for all the help. But I had one query. Can the letter be signed by the HR of the company. As my previous boss does not work there any more. And do I need a separate letter from the main boss too just incase or just one reference letter is enough?. Please can you help me.
Hi Jason thanks for this video.i have one question for you.currently I am working in a company as a production manager so I can get reference letter from there but before that for about 7 years I was self employed so how I show both of these experience?
Hi Mohsin, if your experience with your current company is 3 years or more, you don't need to provide previous work experience details. All the best for your application; have a great day!
Sir/Madam, Thanks for your information. I have been working in an organization from 2014 to till now but in between that, I have done my full time masters degree in 2018-2020 while working full time. Can I skip my work experience and show education only at the period of studying, but PF and IT were there. Your reply is highly appreciated.
@@DreamCanada Hi Sir Thanks for your reply I have already nearly four years of work experience before masters. So that I have mentioned like that. Because, if we show full time work and full time study may get any issue, but I am not sure. Kindly suggest me sir
There's no issue if you show your full time studies and work simultaneously. There are many applications that are accepted in such a way so don't worry. All the best for your application; have a great day!
this puts the final nail in the coffin, what if I dont want my employer to know in any way that I am applying for Canada, or any such job openings? what if I just want to quietly switch, what if I am fed up with my current employer, what if I have resigned and dont have a job anymore?
Hello! Very useful information! What should be the date of the reference letter? Should it be prepared before creating a profile in an express entry or other provincial program or right after getting the invitation? If the title of my work position doesn't sound like those listed at NOC website, but the majority of my duties suit the noc code, can we write an actual position title as it is in the reference letter? Or should it be the same as listed at NOC description?
Hi Viktoriia, the date can be randomly set to the date you receive your reference letter from your company; there's no validity as such. Its advised that you get ALL your documents ready JUST AFTER you create your Express Entry profile, WHILE you're waiting for your ITA. This is because some documents like a PCC, etc. take time to get issued, and you'll get just 60 days after your ITA to submit all your documents online. You can write a different job title (whatever you're working as currently in your company), just ensure that your duties and responsibilities match at least 4-5 duties mentioned under the NOC list on the IRCC website. All the best for your application; have a great day!
@@DreamCanada thank you so much for your prompt reply, can I bother you once again to kindly advice me what NOC to choose if I'm working as a Construction Project Coordinator but my education is a bachelor's of science in architecture. In the 0711 noc code they require a degree in civil engineering and/or design technology, but its the only job code that meets my tasks. And would choosing a type 0 skill job with not too many years of experience affect my PR approval?
very well explained but i wanted to know if i have in last ten year, 3 jobs with the similar job titles then should i get the reference letters from all the the 3 institutions?
@@DreamCanada thanks for the prompt reply....🙏☺️ And to get the experience letter in my current institute m working I need to resign n then get the reference letter,I know it's quite silly to ask this but still....
Hi Rahi, that's alright, you can submit letters for all your previous work experience. You don't necessarily have to be employed at the time that you apply. All the best for your application; have a great day!
@@DreamCanada thank you for the prompt reply. However, in some cases, ex employers don't entertain such requests, so can we submit our relieving letters. But then it won't have our job role and responsibilities, what can be done in this case?
If they refuse, it'll do if you can even get a HR manager or officer or your immediate supervisor or manager to send you this letter on a company email thread.
Great video Jason! I have a question if you don't mind answering. You said that the letter should specify the date of leaving the company if I am obtaining a letter from the company that I am currently working with. Can this be a tentative date alongside mentioning the notice period? I understand this document is to be submitted after receiving an ITA by which time I would be able to provide a resignation date and the notice period. Your response is appreciated. Thank you!
Hi Srinath, sure! You can specify the date you plan to resign if you're still working for the company. I have covered this info in the video as well at 03:10. All the best for your application; have a great day!
Hi, Thanks for all the information. I just wanted to check, is it okay if I just mention the last three years of work experience under Work History in EE profile rather than mentioning my complete 7 years of experience, because getting the reference letters for the previous 4 years will be tough from previous employers? And we get the maximum CRS score at 3 years itself, so can we skip adding the other 4 years of experience. Can you please suggest?
Hi! I am loving your videos. They are like tutorials, surprisingly detailed and yet crisp. Great job. I would like to know if this reference letter is required from EVERY employer I worked with? I have 5 years of experience in the same field (2.5 years in company1, then 1.5 years in company2, then 1 year in company3, then spent 6 months in a startup accelerator program). As express entry profile takes into account only "3 or more years" of experience. Is it okay if I show 3 years of experiences that I want to claim CRS points for? Also, these experiences will have a gap of 1.5 years (for my company2) as I am worried that the employer in my company2 wasn't a nice person and he may not agree to provide this letter. It would be great if you could put some light on this scenario. Thanks in advance.
Thank you for your kind feedback! You'll need reference letters for only the work experience you're claiming CRS points for (most likely your most recent experience of at least 3 years for maximum CRS points). Have a great day!
Hi Jason, First of all thank you so much for such detailed videos. I have a query that I am a student doing 2 jobs (retail team member and landscaping) as a part time jobs for more than 2 years in australia but they are cash in hand jobs. So will I be able to add any one of these or both under work experience if I receive reference letter from my manager?
Hi Surbhi, if your reference letter mentions your pay details with benefits and other relevant details covered in the video, your mode of payment won't matter. You're not asked to upload any mode of payment docs to further prove your work experience details. All the best for your application; have a great day!
hey Jason, wonderful work ! would really appreciate if you could make video on format how to accommodate different roles and responsibilities at different position in company ( different role may lie on different NOC for eg. QA manager after promotion (2171) and before that Quality tester (2173)
@@DreamCanada Thank you for quick response hope to find it ur list soon. Meanwhile, a quick query, hope u wont mind to help My job title doesn't match with NOC code title index list but role and responsibilities are same. Can I use that NOC based on roles ? Eg. I am Quality Assurance Chief Engineer ( as per my job title my code is 2173) But my job roles n resp match with 2171 ( QA analyst) ... but my employer doesn't titled us as analyst So confused
The details provided in the video are very informative and of great help to new immigrant aspirants like us. Thank you for sharing such details. I have few queries regarding my situation. 1.Regarding work experience , the company with whom I worked initially have been acquired by other company so while getting the Experience letter from new employer , is it advisable to ask the new firm if they can mention the company name transition in the letter or do we have to support any other relevant documents to Canadian government ? 2. Also, I have a Canadian work experience through the same firm ( onsite experience) . I believe this can be counted as a Canadian work experience. The duration of my onshore assignments are multiple for 3-4 months every time . Should I ask the employer to mention this foreign assignment details also in the same work experience letter or is there are any specific process that I need to follow to declare my International work experience.
Hello, I have a query, what if I have worked under different managers? In this case, should I ask for the reference letter from the first (past) or second (most recent) manager?
Hi, nice video. I have a query: My job title in my company is software engineer and i am a software tester. I am confused whether to choose noc 2173 - Software engineers and designers or noc 2283 - Information systems testing technicians. If i mention software engineer in reference letter it make confusion with roles and responsibilities right?
Hi Jason, Please, if my NOC is what I'm doing right now and in my past job. My current employer can't give me reference Letter. My past job then ended 5years ago with over 7years experience . Can I still use the reference Letter from my past job?

Hi, Thanks for the wonderful video. I have a query regarding the reference letter. My Company do not provide any reference letter since the migration is not in favour of them. So i read in the below comments one of the friend saying that reference letter in an email would be sufficient. In that case can you please let me know the steps that would be needed to complete.
Hi Vin, in this case, if you can get a colleague who's a manager or supervisor to send you this reference letter in your company email thread, then yes, you can use this as sufficient work experience proof. All the best for your application; have a great day!
Hey Jason, very well explained, thanks a lot! If I also have more than 10 years of foreign work experience, does the reference letter have be structured the same way as the one for Canadian work experience? How many years (max.) of foreign work experience count?
Hey. Thanks always for your fast response. As i'm still working in my current company can I mention that I'm currently employed here. And it's not possible for me to give an end date?
Since you're getting a 'reference letter', it would be kind of obvious that a tentative resignation date is set, won't it? :) All the best for your application; have a great day!
hello Jason thanks for the information but I don't plan to resign from my job until I receive confirm and process an ITA can I state that I'm still currently employed?
Hi Jason, thank you very much for your kind work. However I have few doubts 1. I had been working as a Brand Executive for 1.5 years which falls under the 0124 even though the title is not mentioned as it is. So would the mere duties and responsibilities count for the experience? 2. Can I show the experience of 3 years by using two NOCs? One NOC for 2 yrs and other one for 1 year? That's is also count as 3 years of experience?
Thanks so much for the video. Can you please let me know if a dependent spouse work reference letter is required to be submitted, if she has non Canada experience (Work experience in India and US)
Sir in last 10 years there are 3 years I worked for a company but now my relation to that company not good so they can't provide any reference letter so shall I show it a gap or what should I do also their salary was also cash in hand
I have already responded to this question in the other comment you have created- try to get them to reissue your letters with at least 2-3 most relevant duties. Otherwise, make a mention of this in your letter of explanation
Is there a template for this experience letter provide by IRCC? And, can we take this letter from the company in advance when we are leaving the company before joining a new one? Or are we supposed to take it only after receiving ITA?
Hello Jason i have quick question, if i am working with the same employer for 6 years, can my Employment history letter and NOC 2016 match letter be same?
@@DreamCanada Thanks for your response Jason. Actually was bit confused while i was looking at one of the PNP's (Novascotia) in that they were asking for two different letters for employment history; which is a ref letter and NOC 2016 evidence letter - (which is basically for people who are experienced in that province). i thought if we are applying from outside what would be the difference between those two so after little research i found it. Thank you.
If I have more than one NOC experience in different companies. shall I need to mention the NOC code accordingly in the individual company letters, right?
@@DreamCanada I mean I having same field experience with different roles in different companies. Hence, shall I need experience letter from alll employers, right?

If i have 15 years experience, i have been in my current company for almost 11 years, and i have another with 4 years, do i need to also include the 4 years experience? the reason i don't want to include is i can't find any supporting documents for it already.
Hi Jason! Hope you are doing well. Thank you for a very informative video. I wanted to ask about the reference letter format from clients in the case of self employed individuals. Do we have to follow the same format as an employed person or just an acknowledgement / appreciation letter from clients would do? Getting this format from a client would be very tough and many elements from this don't apply for self employed such as hours worked, salary, internal duties etc. Kindly advise.
Thank you so much sir for the valuable information. Sir, I worked as a Civil Engineer with a private licenced contractor but he is neither educated nor designated. How I will manage my reference letter? Should I make it on my own and then take his signature and stamp also he is not a designated person so will it affect my letter.

Nov,2017 to Nov,2018 2. Nov,2018-June,2019 and June 2019-till date.

Just wanted to know how it works for the reference letter. Should I ask my company HR to include that I was working 6 months through staffing service or ask staffing service for a letter?
can you please provide me an answer ?
That would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Hi; u want to ask that what we can do in the case where company's letterhead does not contain any company logos; will stamps be enough to prove it?
Yes
thanks for the info... but I have a question. What if there is no Stamp for the company, as I have 4 years of part-time experience in a restaurant as a manager.
there are no stamps for the restaurants. how should I manage?
Hi very well explained.Just one question if our company is not providing the salary details in the reference letter. Can we submit pay slips instead?
Yes, you can. Make a note of this in your Letter of Explanation as well.
Hi, this video was really good and very explanatory. But I don't know my NOC or related job titles.
My job title is Revenue Reconciliation Executive, I work under the Senior Revenue Manager and the Chief of Administration and Finance.
I was thinking I could choose Administrative assistant from the Canada NOC website as my job title since I can't find Revenue Reconciliation Executive. Please I need your advice on this.
Thanks for informative video. My previous company was permanently closed down. How should I do for reference letter of previous company?
Hi Jason.. Thank you for such a informative video and information. It is really very helpful to process our PR without taking any help from consultancy. I have 1 query that if we do not get reference letter from our previous employers then in that case what can be done. What supporting documents can I give to prove my work experience.
Hi jason, your are doing great job..I have one question.. I have 9 years of work experience as Electrical Engineer.. Can I attach all my past companies reference letter??
hi! you have always done a good video,...all are well explained... how about making a video of a letter of intent...thanks so much
Hi Elenita, a letter of intent is very similar to a letter of explanation, and it has ALL the same details. I'll make a video about it soon. Hope you have a great day!
Hi Jason , very informative video. I had one question, I have switched three different teams in the same company . Do I need to get reference letter from all different teams ??
Jason, you’re awesome! Have a doubt, besides this recommendation letter, do I have to attach additional information about my work experience? Pay slips, social security? In order to make it more reliable? Thank you
Nothing at all. This letter will suffice. You can, however, add them if you feel like, and make a mention of them in your letter of explanation.
@@DreamCanada thank you Jason!!
Always a pleasure; have a great day!
@@DreamCanada Jason, can I bother you, I asked you an important thing in the Alberta video. Haha thanks!!!
thanks sir for this information... now i understood the whole process everywell.... sir if i provide only the refeence letter, is that enough to proof my work exprecien
If I'm going for my Masters as a student should I already get refrence letters made from my employers and carry them and use them later ...after 3-4 years whenever I apply for PR?
Yes, you can.
Thanks for the prompt reply.:) But issue date of reference letter is not an issue as per your reply...sorry to confirm again..
No, it wouldn't be an issue; your service tenure would be supporting evidence to the issue date anyway.
Thank you so much :)
Awesome bro, thanks for sharing!
Always a pleasure; have a great day!
Thanks for your detailed explanation videos of Canada immigration process, it's truly very informative and we are also truly obliged to you for providing ultimate, great , knowledgeable service to all of us . Hats off and salute....I would appreciate if you could clarify few queries such (a) is it necessary to mention in reference letter subject that the concerned letter is for Canada PR immigration or can be done without mentioning it ( as the same reference letter can be used for applying other countries too.?
(b) can I get ECA for bachelor degree as well as for 1 year Diploma certificate too. Total 4 years of education for better CRS scores.?
(A): Yes;
(B): Yes.
@@DreamCanada thanks for replying....just to clarify...ECA for degree + diploma can be done through single application ? Can provide both certificates in same Application ?
Yes
Can our reference letter be in our own language and we provide an official translation for IRCC?
Yes, you can do that. Kindly remember the following points specified by IRCC:
- It can be an English or French translation stamped by a certified translator or accompanied by an affidavit from the person who completed the translation (If it is not possible to have the translation done by a certified translator)
- The translation package should include a copy the original source document that was used by the translator, and the translation of all contents of the original document in either English or French. Both the source document and the translation must either be stamped by the translator or referred to in the affidavit
- You'll need a scan of the original document, or a scan of a certified photocopy of the original document
Hi new subscriber, thank u so much for your detailed explanations which r demonstrated .🙏🏽
Welcome to the channel! Thank you for your kind feedback; hope you have a great day!
Please do we need to mention job duties in appointment and promotion letters as well????
Hi, Thank you so much for the video. It was very informative. I have one question. My HR manager is not providing me with the reference letter, can I take the reference letter from my reporting manager?
Hi Amruta, yes, you can. Have explained this instance in the video as well. All the best for your application; have a great day!
Hie Jason thanks for all the help u keep providing - my husband has 6 years of job experience from 4 companies - 3 of which were real estate and the latest one is from banking - which he is still working in - how do I go about ? We are yet to give the ielts and make a profile - should I start collecting these documents now - or should I wait ?
You should figure out your CRS score first, along with the NOC you will be applying under. Based on these details you'll get a fair idea of the programs you're eligible for, and approach them accordingly.
Nice video bro! I have 2 questions:
1. the manager I reported to left the company, is the signature of the current HR/HR manager acceptable?
2. since only 60 days will be given after invited, I want to request the letter before ITA. Is it ok if the date on the letter is earlier than the ITA date?
Thanks!
1. Yes, this will work.
2. That's completely fine. Make a mention of this in your 'Letter of Explanation'.
That's a really awesome video and is of great help to me. I have one small query, I have been working in a company from more than 3 years now and had 3 different positions in this company. I heard that we need to shows all the positions with their time period, responsibilities, salary etc. separately but in your format there is just one job position and you asked to write about promotions in bracket. I am little confused about that. please clarify.
It would also be really helpful if you can share the word file of your format.
Thanks in advance.
Hi Ashank, IRCC always advises candidates to include ALL their positions in a single reference letter if all the positions were held at the same company. It always saves time & is much simpler than having 2 or more reference letters. All the best for your application; have a great day!
@@DreamCanada what if all the designations and responsibilities were different? How to show them in a single reference letter?
Hello..thank you for clear information..I have one doubt that I have total 8 years of experience in total 3 organization and currently in 4th one... so whether we need to do reference letter for all organization or current one?
Hi Jason. I need some help.
I have worked with the same employer with different NOC codes. How should I prepare the reference letter?
Although you can list both job roles, you can apply under just 1 NOC
Hi Jason,
Could you please tell what to do in case the company is refusing to give an experience letter citing that it is not as per their corporate policy. I have the offer letter and the relieving letter and the payslips. Please let me know if there is any alternative way?
Does sales & marketing officer is in the NOC list? does immigrant really call or email to the company to check whether it's correct or not?
Yes, all verifications are done.
Hello,
Do we have to submit reference letter of all the past job experiences? What if the job roles and responsibilities doesn't match slightly? Also what if I my second job was at a lower positions and the NOC code isn't similar for both the jobs, also do we require to submit our pay slips?
Hey! New follower here 🤗🤗
Can you please answer a few questions for me please:
So I worked for a company for one year then left the job to do masters for 1 year, came back and joined another company where I am working for 5 months.
My questions are
1. Should I ask the company that I worked for (who already provided me experience letter but not in this particular format) to provide me another letter?
Or should I only submit one from my current company after completing 1 year?
I mean is there an option to upload multiple offer letters.
2. I have another work experience under a different NOC where I worked for 4 months. Should I include that as well?
3. Can I apply to express entry with my parents or should I only apply as single candidate?
Hi thanks for the information but wanted to check as I'm applying for my PG Diploma would this format serve both the purposes of University application and later on for pr application
Hey Buddy, you are doing a great job. Thank for all the help. But I had one query. Can the letter be signed by the HR of the company. As my previous boss does not work there any more. And do I need a separate letter from the main boss too just incase or just one reference letter is enough?. Please can you help me.
Yes, it can. Do mention this in your letter of explanation as well. All the best!
Hi Jason thanks for this video.i have one question for you.currently I am working in a company as a production manager so I can get reference letter from there but before that for about 7 years I was self employed so how I show both of these experience?
Hi Mohsin, if your experience with your current company is 3 years or more, you don't need to provide previous work experience details. All the best for your application; have a great day!
Sir/Madam,
Thanks for your information.
I have been working in an organization from 2014 to till now but in between that, I have done my full time masters degree in 2018-2020 while working full time. Can I skip my work experience and show education only at the period of studying, but PF and IT were there.
Your reply is highly appreciated.
Hi Devaraj, why would you want to skip work experience years when it was full time anyway?
@@DreamCanada
Hi Sir
Thanks for your reply
I have already nearly four years of work experience before masters.
So that I have mentioned like that.
Because, if we show full time work and full time study may get any issue, but I am not sure.
Kindly suggest me sir
There's no issue if you show your full time studies and work simultaneously. There are many applications that are accepted in such a way so don't worry. All the best for your application; have a great day!
@@DreamCanada
Thank you so much Sir
No worries; glad to help!
this puts the final nail in the coffin, what if I dont want my employer to know in any way that I am applying for Canada, or any such job openings? what if I just want to quietly switch, what if I am fed up with my current employer, what if I have resigned and dont have a job anymore?
Hello! Very useful information! What should be the date of the reference letter? Should it be prepared before creating a profile in an express entry or other provincial program or right after getting the invitation? If the title of my work position doesn't sound like those listed at NOC website, but the majority of my duties suit the noc code, can we write an actual position title as it is in the reference letter? Or should it be the same as listed at NOC description?
Hi Viktoriia, the date can be randomly set to the date you receive your reference letter from your company; there's no validity as such. Its advised that you get ALL your documents ready JUST AFTER you create your Express Entry profile, WHILE you're waiting for your ITA. This is because some documents like a PCC, etc. take time to get issued, and you'll get just 60 days after your ITA to submit all your documents online. You can write a different job title (whatever you're working as currently in your company), just ensure that your duties and responsibilities match at least 4-5 duties mentioned under the NOC list on the IRCC website. All the best for your application; have a great day!
Hello! Must the NOC code have the exacts educational requirement?
Hi Olla, no, your education and work experience don't have to be aligned.
@@DreamCanada thank you so much for your prompt reply,
can I bother you once again to kindly advice me what NOC to choose if I'm working as a Construction Project Coordinator but my education is a bachelor's of science in architecture. In the 0711 noc code they require a degree in civil engineering and/or design technology, but its the only job code that meets my tasks. And would choosing a type 0 skill job with not too many years of experience affect my PR approval?
You can find your exact NOC with the steps demonstrated in this process video: th-cam.com/video/qFgouJ9LLWk/w-d-xo.html
very well explained but i wanted to know if i have in last ten year, 3 jobs with the similar job titles then should i get the reference letters from all the the 3 institutions?
Yes, if you intend to claim CRS points for all jobs collectively
@@DreamCanada thanks for the prompt reply....🙏☺️ And to get the experience letter in my current institute m working I need to resign n then get the reference letter,I know it's quite silly to ask this but still....
Always a pleasure; have a great day!
Hi. Thank you for the video. However, currently I am not working since the last one month. What do I have to do?
Hi Rahi, that's alright, you can submit letters for all your previous work experience. You don't necessarily have to be employed at the time that you apply. All the best for your application; have a great day!
@@DreamCanada thank you for the prompt reply. However, in some cases, ex employers don't entertain such requests, so can we submit our relieving letters. But then it won't have our job role and responsibilities, what can be done in this case?
If they refuse, it'll do if you can even get a HR manager or officer or your immediate supervisor or manager to send you this letter on a company email thread.
Thank you for sharing this information.It is useful for us.
Great video Jason! I have a question if you don't mind answering. You said that the letter should specify the date of leaving the company if I am obtaining a letter from the company that I am currently working with. Can this be a tentative date alongside mentioning the notice period? I understand this document is to be submitted after receiving an ITA by which time I would be able to provide a resignation date and the notice period. Your response is appreciated. Thank you!
Hi Srinath, sure! You can specify the date you plan to resign if you're still working for the company. I have covered this info in the video as well at 03:10. All the best for your application; have a great day!
@@DreamCanada Thank you, you too!
Always glad to help!
Thanks for valuable knowledge
Always a pleasure!
Hi, Thanks for all the information. I just wanted to check, is it okay if I just mention the last three years of work experience under Work History in EE profile rather than mentioning my complete 7 years of experience, because getting the reference letters for the previous 4 years will be tough from previous employers? And we get the maximum CRS score at 3 years itself, so can we skip adding the other 4 years of experience. Can you please suggest?
Yes you can!
Hi!
I am loving your videos. They are like tutorials, surprisingly detailed and yet crisp. Great job.
I would like to know if this reference letter is required from EVERY employer I worked with?
I have 5 years of experience in the same field (2.5 years in company1, then 1.5 years in company2, then 1 year in company3, then spent 6 months in a startup accelerator program).
As express entry profile takes into account only "3 or more years" of experience. Is it okay if I show 3 years of experiences that I want to claim CRS points for? Also, these experiences will have a gap of 1.5 years (for my company2) as I am worried that the employer in my company2 wasn't a nice person and he may not agree to provide this letter.
It would be great if you could put some light on this scenario. Thanks in advance.
Thank you for your kind feedback! You'll need reference letters for only the work experience you're claiming CRS points for (most likely your most recent experience of at least 3 years for maximum CRS points). Have a great day!
@@DreamCanada Thanks for the information. Keep uploading more videos. You have one new subscriber 👍
Sure will!
Hi Jason, First of all thank you so much for such detailed videos. I have a query that I am a student doing 2 jobs (retail team member and landscaping) as a part time jobs for more than 2 years in australia but they are cash in hand jobs. So will I be able to add any one of these or both under work experience if I receive reference letter from my manager?
Hi Surbhi, if your reference letter mentions your pay details with benefits and other relevant details covered in the video, your mode of payment won't matter. You're not asked to upload any mode of payment docs to further prove your work experience details. All the best for your application; have a great day!
@@DreamCanada Okay Jason. Thank you so much
Always a pleasure!
hey Jason, wonderful work !
would really appreciate if you could make video on format how to accommodate different roles and responsibilities at different position in company ( different role may lie on different NOC for eg. QA manager after promotion (2171) and before that Quality tester (2173)
Thank you for the suggestion Sonika; will definitely take this into consideration.
@@DreamCanada Thank you for quick response hope to find it ur list soon.
Meanwhile, a quick query, hope u wont mind to help
My job title doesn't match with NOC code title index list but role and responsibilities are same.
Can I use that NOC based on roles ?
Eg. I am Quality Assurance Chief Engineer ( as per my job title my code is 2173)
But my job roles n resp match with 2171 ( QA analyst) ... but my employer doesn't titled us as analyst
So confused
The details provided in the video are very informative and of great help to new immigrant aspirants like us. Thank you for sharing such details. I have few queries regarding my situation.
1.Regarding work experience , the company with whom I worked initially have been acquired by other company so while getting the Experience letter from new employer , is it advisable to ask the new firm if they can mention the company name transition in the letter or do we have to support any other relevant documents to Canadian government ?
2. Also, I have a Canadian work experience through the same firm ( onsite experience) . I believe this can be counted as a Canadian work experience. The duration of my onshore assignments are multiple for 3-4 months every time . Should I ask the employer to mention this foreign assignment details also in the same work experience letter or is there are any specific process that I need to follow to declare my International work experience.
Hello,
I have a query, what if I have worked under different managers? In this case, should I ask for the reference letter from the first (past) or second (most recent) manager?
Hi, nice video. I have a query: My job title in my company is software engineer and i am a software tester. I am confused whether to choose noc 2173 - Software engineers and designers or noc 2283 - Information systems testing technicians. If i mention software engineer in reference letter it make confusion with roles and responsibilities right?
Pick the one which matches your roles and responsibilities more
Hi Jason, Please, if my NOC is what I'm doing right now and in my past job. My current employer can't give me reference Letter. My past job then ended 5years ago with over 7years experience . Can I still use the reference Letter from my past job?
Hi, I have a question.
Even if the exact title is not there under Index Titles as well, but the job duties are same.
What to do then ?
Please let me know
If the duties are the same then you can use the title as per the IRCC website.

Q2: do we need to explain the amount of benefits seprate(food,travell,etc)?
Hey Jason, very well explained, thanks a lot! If I also have more than 10 years of foreign work experience, does the reference letter have be structured the same way as the one for Canadian work experience? How many years (max.) of foreign work experience count?
Hey. Thanks always for your fast response. As i'm still working in my current company can I mention that I'm currently employed here. And it's not possible for me to give an end date?
Since you're getting a 'reference letter', it would be kind of obvious that a tentative resignation date is set, won't it? :) All the best for your application; have a great day!

Hi Jason, thank you very much for your kind work. However I have few doubts
1. I had been working as a Brand Executive for 1.5 years which falls under the 0124 even though the title is not mentioned as it is. So would the mere duties and responsibilities count for the experience?
2. Can I show the experience of 3 years by using two NOCs? One NOC for 2 yrs and other one for 1 year? That's is also count as 3 years of experience?
References letter it should be hardcopy or electronically. What if company give in electronically. Can you please tell?
Soft copies are also accepted with digital / scanned signatures & stamps.
Thanks so much for the video. Can you please let me know if a dependent spouse work reference letter is required to be submitted, if she has non Canada experience (Work experience in India and US)
Thanks Jason. If I have 5 years work experience in 2 jobs, can I submit a reference letter for only the most recent job which has 3 years experience?
Sir in last 10 years there are 3 years I worked for a company but now my relation to that company not good so they can't provide any reference letter so shall I show it a gap or what should I do also their salary was also cash in hand
I have already responded to this question in the other comment you have created- try to get them to reissue your letters with at least 2-3 most relevant duties. Otherwise, make a mention of this in your letter of explanation
@Dream Canada in case of multiple NOC codes in multiple organizations do we have get refference letters from all the companies?
You need just one letter from one NOC code you intend to apply under
Thanks...one more question what if I fall under two NOC codes can I select two codes to increase the probability of getting picked ?
No, you can apply under just one code
Thanks for clearing my doubt.
Is there a template for this experience letter provide by IRCC? And, can we take this letter from the company in advance when we are leaving the company before joining a new one? Or are we supposed to take it only after receiving ITA?
Hello Jason i have quick question, if i am working with the same employer for 6 years, can my Employment history letter and NOC 2016 match letter be same?

Actually was bit confused while i was looking at one of the PNP's (Novascotia) in that they were asking for two different letters for employment history; which is a ref letter and NOC 2016 evidence letter - (which is basically for people who are experienced in that province). i thought if we are applying from outside what would be the difference between those two so after little research i found it.
