not necessary. I couldn't provide the requisite ref letter for my current job and my application was approved. its a case on basis, also depending on type of organisation, visa officer etc.
Was your job required to claim the points or qualify under your program? If it is not required, they don't need the letter. Also, what other supporting evidence did you provide?
I did not provide letter from current employer either, but one of my previous jobs qualified me for FSW and provided the necessary CRS points. That employer had provided the requisite letter.

I have total 8+ years of exp over 3 jobs, even if i get the reference letter from previous employer, where i worked for 3+ years, i will qualify the EE score, should i go for providing reference letters from all others?? or one itself will suffice?? will it affect my overall profile?

It will not make any difference to your processing time. This 3+ year job should be within the last 10 years and the job duties should match your primary NOC. Make sure you keep the rest of the experience in personal details section and keep only this job in the work experience section of the application (post ITA).

Thanks for replying :)
Can u please elaborate on this... as you said.. should keep present work experience in the personal section. Does all of the work experiences matter? How does it make a difference to our application.

You have to truthfully report all your activities such as work, education, social association memberships etc. in the personal details section.

Difficult to say, the only way to find out is by submitting.

Now I have a letter stating that the company is not in a position to grant a letter for an existing employee, hope this fits
