Last year, express entry was easier... I remember my friend entering details, it was not so hassle as its now...
I have worked previously in India for a company for two years, I only have a blunt experience letter as proof, that i had worked in their company from this to that.... i have no other proof, no tax returns, no pay slip, nothing... company is closed now... cannot contact the company....
So if i put this experience, is this exp letter enough, cause if they ask for more proof, i don't have any... or is it better to put this two years as unemployed.... after this i came to Canada to do masters... and have to job now... i can provide all proof for my present job...

What to do... Any help, much appreciated....

If you are not claiming any points for ur Indian experience, include it in your personal history.

You only need reference letters for the work experience in the work history section (the work experience for which you are claiming points for). All the other work experience (in personal history) does not require any proof of employment.

On employment, please offer your advice.

Is it the minimum time for putting in employment history is past 10 years? I will do submission end July this year (2017), which means I need to declare employment from Aug 2007 - July 2017 only. For all other work experience before Aug 2007, I can put them under Personal Details and no proof is necessary. Is this correct?

And an issue is that my past employer from Aug to Sep 2017 have been acquired by another company. I can't obtain one reference letter including required information, and business card from any contact as I have lost contact with the ex-colleagues. What I have with me are:
(1) employment letter with my name & title and work hours
(2) tax form showing salary and bonus
(3) performance reference letter signed by my ex-boss (which I have lost contact now), mentioning my duties.

Is it still sufficient for submission?

Lastly, I am primary applicant. Is it correct that my husband, who will go with me, don't need to fill in Employment section while all his employment details should be filled in Personal details? This also means no employment reference letter of his is required to submit.

Thank you much in advance. Appreciate your valuable advice.
