Format content
(1) Avoid the work attitude of recommending candidates. For example, "so-and-so is conscientious and responsible in his work, skilled in professional skills, tacit cooperation with colleagues, and won the praise of leaders and colleagues", and so on. All meaningless lace words should be avoided. The length of the text should be placed on the description of the substantive content.
(2) Time sequence of each project or work.
(3) If the applicant has multiple jobs, each job must have a letter of recommendation.
(4) Letter of recommendation. Whether the recommendation letter should be written in Chinese or English depends on the nature of your work unit and the education level of the person who wrote the recommendation letter. It's not something you can decide at will
(5) Should the recommendation letter be signed or sealed? As we all know, people in China are used to reading company seals. Westerners are used to reading signatures. My experience at present is that it should be signed by the person in charge of the unit and stamped with the official seal of the unit. The official seal can be the name seal of the unit or the personnel seal of the unit. It depends on the position of the person in charge of signing. However, never use irrelevant business seals, such as financial seals.
(6) the qualifications of the signatory. The signer of the letter of recommendation can be the main person in charge of the unit or the head of the department (however, it must be your immediate superior. You can't be the head of other departments at your level. Not to mention your subordinates). The person in charge is not necessarily full-time. It can also be a deputy. In addition, the head of the personnel department may also be. As long as he can describe your work objectively and accurately. The signatory should leave a direct contact telephone number. The visa officer can call the recommender at any time to verify the contents of the recommendation letter (to prevent fraud).
(7) the paper and writing format used in the recommendation letter. The recommendation letter must be on the company's stationery. You can't use mindless white paper. Otherwise it doesn't look real. Under the current technical conditions, it is best to use typing. Don't write by hand.
(8) The date of signing the recommendation letter. The recommendation letter must be dated. A recommendation letter without a date looks sloppy. It is reminiscent that the accuracy of the content of the recommendation letter itself may be problematic.
(9) Business card of the signatory of the letter of recommendation This is a document that must be attached, whether in Beijing, Hong Kong or Buffalo.
Can I not provide a letter of recommendation or work certificate?
For some applicants, it is sometimes difficult to provide letters of recommendation. For example, you don't want your current employer to know that you are applying for immigration to Canada; Or the original work unit has been revoked; Or have a bad relationship with the leaders of the original work unit.
Don't cheat.
Never tamper with the recommendation letter. It should be written truthfully. Because fraud can't stand the test. In recent years, the Canadian Immigration Department has been taking active measures to check the fraud of Chinese mainland applicants. If you are caught cheating, all your efforts, including the IELTS test, will be in vain.
