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

Peer letters carry weight because they show day-to-day collaboration. Be specific about what working together was like.
