Figuring out work letter situation

Ok so, I have 1 and a bit years of experience in Canada. I can prove this easily.

I have been offered an invitation to apply through BC PNP Tech, which is based on this experience along with a year of experience in a different country back in 2014.

I have recently sent off for a record of employment from the UK, no idea how long this takes. (I only realised I could do this recently) However, I have less than 30 days to submit.

Now, the issue is that I don't have any pay slips, in addition the company no longer exists.

However, my old manager is a director of a new company.

He has given me a letter saying I worked for his company on these dates as it's likely it will be impossible to get the tax records for the dissolved company.

So, I have 2 choices:

1. Say I worked for his new company, if they ring him, etc. he will back it up
- Would this be enough without tax records?
2. I say I worked for the old company, ask for a new letter from old manager, hope the work record arrives in time

Any ideas?

Thanks!
