Local note (CA)

Canada — reference letters (especially for immigration or jobs) favor specific, verifiable examples and the writer’s contact details. Some provinces expect references to be reachable for follow-up.

Writing tips

Promotion letters must show the person already operating at the next level. Cite scope and results, not effort alone.
