Ideally, would be all the jobs you claim to have held before, but if you don't have the contracts for each and one of them, a letter of reference from your past employers (with company letterhead, signed and sealed)stating your previous positions and a letter written by you explaining the reasons why you can't submit contracts from every former employer(s) with each position's description as well works too. I did this in my case since as you well know, it is not customary in our countries to have this information at hand (job descriptions i mean) and this worked fine. If you happen to have any of the salary vouchers at hand from every position you've held, it would be wise to send a copy of those too (say, if you claim you held x job from february 2004 to january 2008, sending the vouchers from feb 04 and jan 08 would work well to confirm your claim on your job experience, consequently, you'd send feb 08 voucher from a different job/company to further prove your claims).

Thank you guys. Well I already have the contracts of all my jobs. What I found hard to find, are the pay slips, would it work the receipts they gave me when the pay? And is it all right to send just receipts of my actual job were I've being working since 2005?

Yes, it's fine. Just send -photocopies- of the earliest one you can find and the last one you got, you don't -need- to send them by the way, it just gives more weight to your application. For instance, I've been on my current job since October 2005, I sent them copies of the 2 receipts I got on october 2005, the last two receipts I had received when I sent the application (Sent it in December so I sent the 2 from November 08). And gigab, I got my PR yesteday, just waiting till next week to pick it up.
