Past Employer not giving reference letter

[thinkingtoapply]

Hi,

I started my career as a dentist by getting a full time job at a dental clinic..
I worked there for about 2 years (2008 to 2010). I was paid in cash.
Then I my employer decided to sell that clinic so I bought it. Since then, I am self employed at that clinic for about 7 years now. (2010 to 2017)
When I filled the post ITA forms, I mentioned about the job part and then the self employed part and so its asking me for documents for both work experience.

My past employer (previous owner of the clinic) is not ready to provide me any document regarding that employment. I dont have any other proof mentioning that I worked there before I bought the clinic.

My question is, What should i provide as documentary proof for the job part? Is a self declaration document/affidavit along with job duties enough?
Even if they dont consider, its not making any change to my points... so will it affect my application?

if it's not making a change on your points or eligibility just move it to personal history, no need to upload a reference letter then

Ok, So U mean I should not mention it in work history at all? and just mention it in personal history of 10 years?

yes but make sure it wasn't counted for points and that it doesnt affect you

TY so much, I checked on CRS calculator and my points does not change for 3 years or more experience. I have self employed experience of 7 years after that job.. So I think its not making any difference.
