Should casual, non-professional employment be included in work history?

Hi all,

I am completing my work history profile for express entry and while I have included my professional experience, I am not sure if I should include my non-career related casual student jobs I had while studying. i.e. working at the university library or at the student services. I have included this jobs in my personal history, but since these jobs are not related to my career nor I am claiming any points for this, I don't see a reason why I should include it in my work experience.

I am also hesitant to include these casual jobs in my work history because I cannot provide employer reference letters for them.

Has anyone gone through a similar situation?

Thank you

Do not put anything in your work history that does not positively contribute to your CRS score or you will be asked to produce a work experience letter for every one of them. That goes into your personal history.
