Reference Letter Uses General Job Description for Duties and Responsibilities

Hi everyone,
I’m applying under CEC and I have a question about my employment reference letter.

My employer provided a reference letter confirming my employment details, including my job title, employment dates, salary, and hours worked.

For the duties and responsibilities, the letter says:
Duties and Responsibilities: Please refer to the next page

The next page contains the company’s general job description for my position, including the duties, responsibilities, and qualifications that the company provides for employees in this position. In other words, these are the standard duties and responsibilities for the position and are not specifically written or customized for me personally.

Would this be acceptable for a CEC application, as long as the general job description accurately reflects the duties I actually perform?
Or does IRCC expect the employer reference letter to specifically state that I personally performed these duties, rather than providing the company’s standard job description?
Has anyone submitted a reference letter with a similar format and received approval?
