Reference letter from other jobs where i worked in summer and Part-time

[Jasmeet0101]

Hello,
I am going to apply under Canadian Experience Class. I came here as international student and now I am on work permit. I have all documents ready. I am working in company as Software Tester and Job falls under NOC code 2283. I have been working on this position from last one year and my company will also give me the Reference letter as per requirements.
As I was Student I have worked two other Places as well. First, When I had my summer Semester off I worked (Fulltime) three months (Company A) But that job was not related to my studies. And Second I worked part-time (Company B) also during my studies and the job was not related to my studies. So do I need to provide the reference letter from Company A and B as well that I worked there from this specific Time? But in the application I have added the all the information related to work I did in Company A and B. Can you please let me know if I need to provide the Reference letter from them as well or not? I will really appreciate your help.

Thanks.

I read from other posts and from my experience, that you only need to get reference letter for your SKILLED work experience.
if your part-time and/or summer jobs are skilled work, no matter if they relate to your studies, should have letter of reference.
if they are unskilled, like working as a clerk or something, you don't need letter of reference.

that's my two cents, but I would wait for others to response and see what they have to say.

Thanks for posting. So let me clarify my other two jobs were as "Warehouse helper" which i did in summer and other was as "Waiter" in a Restaurant which i was doing as part-time as i was studying. And at present i am applying as software tester and i have reference letter for it.
Please let me know that still if i need to provide the letter or not for other jobs.

Thanks

if its not a skilled job and does not count toward your 1 year experience to qualify for CEC ...no letter is required......and as far as co-ops or internships go they are part of your degree and hence just add to your degree completion.....

this is what i think!

look around the forum plenty of similar questions!!

If you can get ROE (Record of Employment) from those jobs than its best, if not.. Dan don't worry about those. Just write in History that you worked.
