    Only have references for the last 2.5 years of work experience, not 3 years.

    Have you already applied for CEC application? if not, then according to the new rules, i believe they only require 1 yr of work experience in Canada. So that is all you need to submit. At most, you can add for the other year too, but there is no reason to give documents for your 3 job too. I...
