Question regarding referrance letter- Exceptional talent

Hello everyone,

I have a question regarding supporting reference letters for OC2 and OC3 criteria. Is it considered a good strategy to include a reference letter as the third page of an evidence document, rather than submitting it as a standalone letter?

Here’s how my application is currently structured:

  • 3 documents for MC
  • 4 documents for OC2
  • 3 documents for OC3

Would really appreciate any advice or if anyone can share experiences with this approach.

Thanks so much!

Do we have any timeline aspect with reference letters for OC2 and OC3 criteria? i.e. can I use reference letters from the past received for GTV same criteria (13 months old)?

You could but it doesn’t hurt to get the referee to update the letter.

Hi @Francisca_Chiedu, the reason why I am exploring this option is to reduce number of documents (2-3 letters would take up space from 10 documents) and can be a supplement within the document.

Any thoughts on - Do we have any timeline aspect with reference letters for OC2 and OC3 criteria? i.e. can I use reference letters from the past received for GTV same criteria (13 months old)?

Many thanks,

Use a reference letter to strengthen existing evidences. I don’t think it would stand as a solo evidence unless it’s really robust.

@Akash_Joshi , my question is do the reference letters used in OCs ( backing with relevant evidences), recommender mention that this letter is towards GTV?

Yes of course. There are many technation specific requirements defined in the official requirements. Have a read through them.
