I believe you have to include work experience gained for the last 3 years. However, only your skilled experience will count towards your application. Also, in one of the forms they will ask which job your applying under, there you will mention your current NOC code. Others may have a different view, but the form clearly asks to list work experience gained for the past 3 years.

Reference letter from your current employer should be fine since that is the experience you are using to qualify for CEC. Just mentioning previous employers should be fine. I did the same when I submitted my application.

True

You need reference letters from the employers that qualify for your CEC application.

In my case I had more than 4 years of experience but I only submitted reference letters for the employers of the last 3 years (less letters, less contact, less work for me!). For me it was 3 years, so read carefully which employers you should ask for reference letters.
