Dear All,

I am trying to apply for Canadian PR. I need some input from you all.

1) Do all the college degrees and transcripts need to be notarized/attested?

2) Would it be good to ask the current employer for a reference letter/experience letter?

Please give me your inputs.

 

1. Yes- except for US university transcripts/ diploma which you will get as a  sealed one from your registrar's office of your school.

2. It depends- if you know someone at HR pretty well or if you have a great Supervisor who can keep confidentiality that will be fantastic. But that is not always the case. You can ask them you need a experience letter for someother cause, like persuing for Masters or PhD program that you need  such letter (as in whom it may concern letter that only mentions your job experience without saying what the letter is for).  I would NOT tell my current employer about intention of moving to Canada or elsewhere at this early stage. They might find your substitute right away and make your work life a living hell.

thanks for your input.

 

Experience letter are good. They will consider any reference or experience if you are claiming point on work. The work has to fall on 38 NOC list. Just reference letter from your employer or professor will not help. It is non revelent

Hopefully this will help

 

I don't think you need to send any document at the time of sending your application.  It clearly mentioned in Canadian immigration website.

Can you send me a link that says you cannot send your experience letters because i thought we could send them. Thank you americankancha.
