How recent the reference letter need to be

[lucky_CA]

Hi,
I am going to submit my PR application under skilled worker category in May, 2013. I have a question regarding submitting reference letter from past employers.

As I have to submit reference letter from all employers from past 10 years, I could not manage to collect recent reference letter from my previous employer. However, I do have letters from them according to CIC specification when I left the job 3 years back. i.e., the letters are dated 3 years back. I also have all my pay slips, T4 , and notice of assessment.

Is it sufficient if I submit the reference letter from my past employer which is dated 3 years back and submit all supporting documents (T4, pay stub ,etc.) to prove my employment?

Thanks,
