One for each work experience you're claiming points from under CRS.

Just to follow up...

Is it important that reference letters list all duties and responsibilities for all jobs, even for those that you are not getting any points?

I have a few that only confirms that I was there and what my pay was.

You question is already answered above by Ufa. You only need reference letters listed with roles & responsibilities for only those jobs that you are claiming points towards CRS.

Hi All,
Is it mandatory for the spouse (Secondary applicant) to submit reference letter or experience letter for PR?
what all they consider for the secondary applicant?

If you list your spouse's work experience in EE profile then yes, you'll have to provide reference letters for it. But, as it doesn't get you any points, you can skip it and add it in personal history after ITA.

Is that after getting ITA or while creating EE profile? Am already in the pool awaiting ITA with CRS 431

Is what after getting ITA...?
My post is very clear, I'm not sure what you are asking about.
i mean listing spouse's work experience..Is that done after ITA? Sorry for that
In addition to that, Is there any validity for the reference letter? Should it be a recent one?

Ok, if you list your spouse's work experience while creating your express entry profile it will not give you any extra points but you would have to provide reference letter for it.
If you want to avoid providing experience letters for your spouse do not mention any of her/his work experience in your Express Entry profile. Just list her/his work experience in personal history when you fill in your after ITA application.
Does it make it clear or do you need some more explanation?
