Hi buddies,

If my current employment is NOT included in the work history section to claim points (but in the personal history section), do I still need to ask for a reference letter from my current employer?

I remember some said that the answer is no.

However, when I am in the uploading document checklist page, the instruction next to employment record says that "You must provide proof of work experience for your current job and for each past position you listed"

So does it mean that I have to include my current employer's letter for my case, please?

Since you're not claiming points for your current job, you don't need to provide documents to support it. You can add it to your personal history.

You need to provide reference letters for all of your past work experience that you're claiming points for. Those instructions are generic.
