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

Scholarship readers want fit and character, not just grades. Tie the example to the award’s mission.
