Advice on providing evidence of foreign experience

I recently was invited to submit an application for permanent residency through Express Entry. I completed a PhD in Canada, and my common-law partner is a Canadian PR. I received 50 points for Skill Transferability - Education, 50 for Skill Transferability - Foreign Work Experience, and 30 for Canadian Education.

My problem is that is hard for me to obtain reference letters from previous employers since some of those organizations folded, and for others I would have to go personally to obtain those references -- which is difficult for me at the moment. My question is whether I can drop some of those previous employers in my application, so that I don't have to provide evidence of employment there, without being at risk of being charged of lying in my application. In other words, can I safely not declare some of my previous employers in my Express Entry application?

Thanks

You can remove them from the work section but you do have to be careful with the effect this may have on your CRS and eligibility (if FSW applicant).

Do note that you still must state such previous work experiences in the personal history section but no proof of employment will be required.

Thanks. So I need to make sure I still end up with my CRS above the threshold?
Yes.

I'm assuming you didn't use your spouse's education, work experience or language capabilities for points.
