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

Volunteer letters help for college, jobs, or awards. Note reliability and specific contributions, not just attendance.
