How many years to go back in job history

[jenni_usa]

How many years are you supposed to go back in your job history? The reason I am asking, is I am not sure I can get reference letters from all my previous employers. Both my husband I fall into the skilled worker job categories (nurse/nurse manager). If they only want a year of work experience, can we just put down our current jobs since we have both been at our jobs for over a year? Or should we go back listing jobs for the last 5 or 10 years?

well for points sake, you need to show all your jobs that you are claiming for points. If you claim points for only one year, then show your current job. I also think there is another section in the forms where it asks for all your jobs. what do others think?

If you are able to achieve the magic figure of 67 points with your current job which should be minimum of one year, continous, paid, full time work experience that should be meet the requirements. Although you will have to list all the work places with duration in the relevant forms.

In my opinion even if you can not get reference letters from your past employers you may still have appointment letters from them so do one thing enclose them with your application.

The better the work experience is the strong your case is.
