You are free to apply if you qualify.If any government employee holding an official passport of any country meets all the requirements can apply to the federal EE or PNP? Is there any restrictions for other country’s government officials to be selected?
But in some threads I’ve come to know that they don’t give visa on Official Passports. Isn’t that true? I’m confused. Suppose after completing all the steps they would say that, this passport won’t serve the purpose. Then what to do?
What do you mean by official passport? I thought you were referring to a normal country passport - which is an official passport. Are you saying that you hold a government / diplomatic passport?But in some threads I’ve come to know that they don’t give visa on Official Passports. Isn’t that true? I’m confused.

In general, I believe there may not be any restrictions from IRCC side but your country may have restrictions if you are in Canada on official government duty on a diplomatic/ govt passport. If there are such restrictions from your country, then IRCC will scrutinize your applications accordingly as per their agreement with your nation. This is my opinion not a legal advise.
Suppose if the service law is not allowing to apply for a PR to other country, and the employer isn’t agreeing to provide an experience letter or reference letter then what to do?You are free to apply if you qualify.

If any government officer of any country has a regular passport mentioning his profession as ‘government service’ in his passport then what the case would be?
I would suggest it would be better if you proceed through lawyer. It does look like a tricky case.
If you do not hold a diplomatic passport, you are eligible in principle for EE. Please mention your country of residence for a better idea about your situation.
What I guess you are concerned about is that you have an ordinary passport with just an extra field of Profession on your passport, which states that you are a Government Employee.
If that is the case, then it should not be an issue for the Canadian authorities, they do not care about it. However, this certainly means that you would have to produce some sort of clearance to authorities at the airport from your employer at the time of departure. If you can get a No-Objection certificate for that, its fine. Otherwise, you always have the option to resign from your job and then free yourself from any official commitments and obtain a NOC.
