Unlikely to be an issue. No work while a student will be considered, nor will experience that is older than 3 years. So he does not need to provide a letter.

Bad news: Why would he claim EI when was still working? It is considered fraud claiming EI and getting paid in Cash.

Good news: he just have to mention work experience in History. It will not be taken into consideration. Everything he is worried about is related to CRA not with CIC. So you are good to go.

I think he claimed EI after he got laid off, he is asking about the max 20 hours that imm allows for off campus work permit holders.
