Default 'Permanent' clause missing from reference letter ? will it create problem ?

Hello mates,

I got through a very tough phase for getting employer reference letter for ACS asessment. While reading the following DIAC link i found out that i can re-use same letters for VISA application too...

http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/gener...experience.htm

My letters follow all their requirements given in that link, except 2 of them don't mentioned the position as 'Permanent' or 'Temporary'. Yet it is clearly mentioned in those letters that i was full time employee working 40 hrs per week.

Will that 'Permanent' or 'Temporary' thing missing in my letter cause any serious problem ?

Please share thoughts.

The acs might ask for more information on this, because there is a requirement acs need to know about ft or pt

Given that the references are otherwise ok, and that they were tough to get by as you mention, I would personally use them as they are. ACS/DIAC ought to contact you If any questions arise. Actually, I believe that some of my own references had the same omission and that didn't cause any problems that I am aware of, but that was a couple of years back.

From ACS/DIAC's point of view, I would guess that the issue of permanent vs temporary is most most important for the current position, and less so for previous ones. So if you want to play it a bit safer, you might wish to update at least the reference letter for your current position. Good luck!

>40,

You really got me out of my tension. A very detailed and positive reply from you and it really calmed me out of my panicky. I shall get that corrected for my current employer reference letter at least.

Thanks again.

I agree with >40 in full.

No need to go through a painful process again. The fulltime clause is sufficient, in combination with a begin / end date or total duration. It does not matter at all if a job was permanent or temporarily, the only thing that the ACS must be able to determine is how long you were in a job role. They will ask you for more information if that cannot be easily calculated.

Cheers Sylvia
