Reference letters

I am a little confused with what jobs I should supply reference letters for. Is it correct that I only need to provide reference letters for the employment that I listed for points (ie. the jobs that apply to the relevant NOC code that I applied under). Some people have told me that I have to supply reference letters for the past 10 years of employment (ie. all jobs). I don't believe this to be correct. Can someone please confirm?

Also for one of my reference letters, I worked 3 roles for this employer. Two apply to the NOC code that I listed in my application and I have a reference letter for both. However, I read that a reference letter requirement is to list all jobs for that employer. Job 3 was not related to the NOC, therefore my old supervisor was not the supervisor. Can I supply a letter from HR that shows all three and the position description for job 3 to show that it was not NOC related - or do all three have to go on the reference letter.

Thanks for your help!

Yep, you only need LOE (Letter of Employment) for the jobs that you are claiming points for, you can add your other experience in work history section.
