Very good and precise information. But it seems you have mentioned very little responsibilities. How much it matched?. Was your designation and NOC code same?. What was your CRS score?

[@humpty02dumpty]

Hi Alex- Glad to know u liked the video. Actually, you should include 3-6 bullet points to describe your duties. Ideal case would be to have minimum 5. I included just 3 points in this letter because i had multiple roles and my employer approved only for these duties which matched my NOC. Our CRS score was 467.

Suggest: I held two designations with the same employer: 1. Analyst 2.

Hello Shraddha- Glad to hear the video was helpful to u. Ideally, the manager should send an email from his/ her email ID. That is the proof that the person from the organization has provided the Employment Reference letter to u. Affidavit should be notarized/ stamp paper based. Best way is to send the solid documents so that u don't get questions from IRCC on your application.
