Express Entry Experience Confusion

[Ilyushin76]

Hello everyone.

I've had 2 streaks of work basically - 3 years as an Electrical Engineer and another 2-3 years as a non technical job in a different company totally unrelated to my degree and field (Marketing) before I was laid off .

The issue is that I was able to get my letters reissued from my engineering employers (with the required EE format - job description, annual salary etc etc added). But when I went to get the letter reissued from my latest company, I found out they closed office in December last year.

I was lucky to get an experience letter from them but it can obviously not be verified since the company has permanently ceased to exist.

My question - Can I only claim points for the first 3 years of engineering experience as the engineering employers are still in the market and all verification can be done easily?

Thanks in advance.

If you have more than 3 years as EE, you don't need the 2 year marketing exp. Just put that experience in personal history, not work history. When you submit your application, mention that this company cannot be verified or simply just leave it.
