guys...i am thinking about applying for Canadian PR in the skilled worker class category...my problem is that i can't obtain an employment letter from my current employer due to the risk of losing my job.

can i apply temporarily without the employment letter and when eventually if i move to canada, i can get a letter of employment then?

thanks.
 
Hi Nishokie,

Employment letters are a very important part of your application. You dont have to tell your employer that you need an employment letter for applying for Canadian immigration. Tell them that you need an employment letter because you need a loan or you are renting a new apartment etc. Try and be creative.

You should also send your pay stubs for the current year and tax returns for all the years you have worked. Provide as much information as you possibly can so that there is no doubt in the mind of the immigration official.

Tell your employers that you would like your parents or in laws to visit you and that they need to get a letter on your employment for getting their tourist visas.
This has worked for a lot of ppl.
 
Hi Nishokie,

Texancanadian has given you an excellent reason to ask your employer to give you an employment letter.

As you are not going to send your original W2 forms and tax returns you should get the photocopies notarized from a public notary. A public notary will compare the original and the photocopy to make sure that they are the same and then certify that the photocopy is a true copy of the original.

Search the yellow book to look for a public notary. You can also call up your bank to see if they do it as generally their service is free.
