Thanks for patiently answering my questions,

@Kuchbhi question as my Q&A may have overshadowed his questions:
Few newbie queries from
@Kuchbhi, seniors please help answer:
1) Do we require experience letter as per CIC's format containing salary, duties, and hours worked from all previous companies or only the present one or for any one of them covering more than 3 years?
2) Most of my previous companies are only ready to provide reference letter as per their template containing dates and job title. Not including duties, salary and hours worked in a week. I do have all of joining, appraisal, relieving letters with payslips. None of those mention job duties.
Are job duties that big a deal? I don't want to go through requesting a friend / affidavit / notarize path. Simply because in many of those firms (date back in 2007,08,2010) I don't have any know associate left. And the Firms have Merged to change their name/address different from what's on the letter head given to me 10 years ago.[which I would explain in Letter of explanation]
3) I prefer not to inform my current employer in US and thus don't want to ask for a reference letter, but I could depending on answer to Question 1.
4) In case, I am able to get experience letter from some of my previous employer in CIC format. I believe I should claim only points for that part of workex in my EE? Or can I fill my EE with all my workex, and only provide experience letter for some of it at the time I fill post-ITA application and delete the work ex for which I don't have experience letter in CIC format?
P.S - I have received our IELTS and WES (master's for me, double master's for wife) but we haven't started EE profile since we are waiting for Experience Letter from previous companies and trying to get closer to FBI clearance - which we applied on 17th July - no indication if they received anything or if they are processing anything.
