Hi,
I have three years work experience in total. One of them ( the first one) is from a chartered accountant. I used to get cash in hand. No cheque. No salary reciept. I have the offer, relieving and the referral letter though, but that's all I would be able to produce. Will this be a problem? The next two years of work experience is fine though as that one is from a big firm, so I have all the official documents.

Any advise would be much appreciated.

Thanks

If you can get a reference letter for first job mentioning your salary, work hours and job duties, then no problem.

I saw some post from this forum member saying IRCC seeking additional documents as proof of employment. Does submitting only reference letter will create problem ?

Its up to you, I do not want to comment on what other posters have said.

As per CIC website, reference letter is enough.
If your employer does not write salary details, then you need salary slips.
If your employer does not write on letter head, then you need salary slips, offer letter, appointment letter.
If your employer does not write on letter head and does not provide promotion details, then you need everything.

hope you understand

Proof of work experience
Purpose
To prove each work experience claim and to validate that the applicant meets program requirements

Document requirements
  • The personalized document checklist in applicants’ online account prompts the applicant with an upload field for each work experience declared.
  • At the completeness check, the processing office determines only whether the required documents are included. The validity or fraudulence of the information is assessed only if and when the application is placed into processing.
The following documents are mandatory for each work experience declared:

  • a reference or experience letter from the employer, which
    • should be an official document printed on company letterhead (must include the applicant’s name, the company’s contact information [address, telephone number and email address], and the name, title and signature of the immediate supervisor or personnel officer at the company),
    • should indicate all positions held while employed at the company and must include the following details: job title, duties and responsibilities, job status (if current job), dates worked for the company, number of work hours per week and annual salary plus benefits; and
  • if the applicant is self-employed, articles of incorporation or other evidence of business ownership, evidence of self-employment income and documentation from third-party individuals indicating the service provided along with payment details (self-declared main duties or affidavits are not acceptable proof of self-employed work experience).
If the work experience is in Canada, proof may include copies of T4 tax information slips and notices of assessment issued by the Canada Revenue Agency (the time period for these documents should reflect the work experience timeframe [e.g., work experience from 2006 to 2008 requires only documents from those calendar years]).
