One more thing I don't have copy of employment contracts with your former and current employers. B'coz it's not big company. Please guide

as per website: 10. Work experience acquired over the last five years•Enclose the following documents for yourself and your spouse, if any:
◦a certificate stating all your employment experiences, issued by a public notary (for applicants from China);
◦a copy of employment contracts with your former and current employers;
◦a copy of all your work certificates.
•The work certificates must be produced on the company's letterhead. They must be dated and signed and bear the signatory's name and function. They must also give the following information:
◦start and end dates of your employment;
◦contact information for your employers, including their telephone number;
◦job positions that you held and a description of tasks that you performed.
•If you are working or have worked within a territory other than that of your country of citizenship, enclose, if such a document is required by the competent territorial authority: a copy of all your visas, temporary work permits or authorizations and renewals issued by the competent territorial authority, stapled to the corresponding work certificates.
•Internship certificates for work done during apprenticeship, training or specialization recognized by a diploma must be accompanied by the agreements made with the educational institution you attended.

Note: if you are unable to provide a letter of recommendation from your current employer or your employment contract, attach an explanatory letter to other official documents related to employment.

but, as per my understanding, you can contact and request your former employer to give you a duplicate contract. because without this, how will you prove your work experience? and QSW is all about the work experience and education of the principal applicant. So this is one of the most important document for getting CSQ successfully. [/blue]
