  NGO staff should establish (with documentation where possible) a link between a GAC project/GAC official staff member (ie: an email chain with a rep) and a recommendation letter/statement of appointment from the NGO which must list the projects worked on and the scope of employment with that particular NGO. Applicants should aim to provide Canadian references from the same org.
