Hello there! (Apologies for length).

I am nearly finished gathering all of my documents for my EE submission. I have questions about providing the Employment Record letter for two of my work experiences.

Quick background for context: (all these within Canada)
2012 - 2016 | full time university student, graduated.
May 2015 - Sept 2015 | full time work-for-credit at production company during summer for my film program at uni.
Sept 2015 - May 2016 Part time contract work for the same company.
Jun 2016 - Oct 2016 Full time freelance film work, production assistant.
June 2017 - Present: Full time production coordinator at production company.

Q1: For my full time freelance work during those months as a production assistant I got hired by several different employers for many different shows. However I was paid for 95% of these jobs via the Cast and Crew payroll, so I'm considering asking for a letter from them to prove my work during those months? Is this what I should do? I have scans of all pay stubs for these jobs.

Q2: Between Jan 2017 and May 2017 I was a full time intern at a production company in Brazil. Do I include this in my application as work experience? Do I need Employment Record from them?

I am not too worried as I've been working since Jun 2017 full time as a coordinator at this company and that covers the +1yr required for PR and points. But I did do a lot of freelance work under several different employers and would like to show this in my application.

Thank you very much.
J
