Content and format of immigration letters

Content and format of immigrant recommendation letter

According to the regulations of the Canadian government, a letter of recommendation is a formal legal document, which can be used as evidence to prove an individual's occupation, including the type, time and experience of employment, and can be confirmed in the form of a letter of recommendation. Because they don't know the relevant provisions of recommendation letters, China immigrants rarely ask their employers to write a recommendation letter to prove their resumes. But for those who want to immigrate, especially those who want to immigrate through skilled skills, a good recommendation letter can bring a lot of convenience to their future applications.

How to write a letter of recommendation and how to write a qualified letter of recommendation is a problem that many people are puzzled about. Let's introduce what a real letter of introduction should include and what format it should have:

First of all, the content of the letter of recommendation

The purpose of a letter of recommendation determines its content. Considering that skilled immigrants are in urgent need of letters of recommendation, we will consider the contents of letters of recommendation from the perspective of skilled immigrants. A formal recommendation letter should include three items.

1, recommended occupation

These contents are usually placed in the first paragraph of the recommendation letter, and the description requirements are detailed and clear. It is particularly important to emphasize that the definition of occupation should be consistent with that filled in the immigration application form (IMM8). In other words, the description of the recommendation letter should be based on the content filled in the application form.

When writing letters of recommendation, be careful not to confuse the concepts of occupation and position, which is a common mistake in letters of recommendation.

2. The project or specific work content completed by the recommended person during the work.

The recommendation letter should list the projects or specific work contents completed by the recommended person during the work, and it is best to make specific explanations.

3. The professional ability of the referee in completing the project or work.

In order to increase the persuasiveness of the recommendation letter, the description of this item is very important, and it is the evidence that can really prove the recommended person's occupation. Therefore, the recommendation letter should describe in detail the professional ability involved in the project or specific work completed by the recommended person during the work.

Second, the format of the recommendation letter.

1, avoid the description of work attitude.

When writing letters of recommendation, China people like to bring some things, such as? Some people have a good work attitude, are serious and responsible, and have a harmonious relationship with their surroundings, which is well received by everyone? In that case. In the eyes of foreigners, these words lack practical meaning and should be avoided as much as possible, and more space should be placed on the description of substantive content.

2, the specific time of each project and work

3. Language choice

Whether to write a recommendation letter in English or Chinese mostly depends on the writer's ability and the nature of the work unit.

4. Try to sign when signing.

Contrary to China's understanding, Westerners believe that an individual's signature is more credible than a company's official seal. Of course, if you can sign and seal at the same time, it is naturally the best choice, but never use irrelevant business seals, such as contract seals and financial seals.

5. Identity of the signatory

The main person in charge of the unit, the person in charge of the department and the person in charge of the personnel department may be the signatory. The person in charge does not have to be full-time, but must have a direct business relationship with the recommended person. For example, department heads and colleagues who are not referees cannot be signatories, otherwise the contents of the recommendation letter will be considered objective or inaccurate.

It is best for the signer to leave his contact information under the recommendation letter so that the visa officer can find the signer during verification.

6. Paper and writing

Letter of recommendation should be written on letterhead, not white paper, otherwise its authenticity will be questioned. It's best not to write letters of recommendation by hand. The printed draft looks clearer and more formal.

7. Date

Although the signing date is not troublesome, it is easy to forget. It is easy to question the accuracy of a recommendation letter without a signature date.

8. Signature's business card

This is also to prove the authenticity of the recommendation letter.

Third, the recommendation letter should be written truthfully.

In recent years, Immigration Canada has been strengthening the examination of letters of recommendation, especially for applicants from Chinese mainland. Therefore, the letter of recommendation must be written according to the actual situation and cannot be forged or adulterated. Once the recommendation letter is found to be flawed by the Canadian Immigration Department, it will undoubtedly be refused.
