Totally understand your situation. But for CEC it is very important that you produce supporting reference/recommendation letters especially for the Canadian Experience with details of job performed. I was as apprehensive as you when approaching the project manager of my client. Initially he said he can personally write to CIC about me but I explained him that without the experience letter i would not be able to submit my application. Thankfully he understood and took the pain of discussing with his HR to get the format printed and signed company's letterhead. So hopefully your's will be same. Give it a try.

Hello. i already emailed my previous employers the other day but as expected, i got no reply for them.. Can you give me a sample of a complete reference letter so I can show it to them if ever they change their mind. is it ok without annual salary but there is per hour wage?

You can use this format. Experience letter is not about compensation verification. For that submit your yearly compensation letters, your initial offer letter and paystubs as many as you have. Those will support compensation related details.

Ofcourse if you have T4 and paystub that's a firm evidence of you having worked in Canada. Do you have more than one employer in Canada ? If so could you get reference letters from them atleast? If this was your only ex employer it's important you get a reference/experience letter from them. You should try to retrieve the email account and send then email asking for the experience letter. If they deny or do not respond to your request that would be firm evidence against them not providing you one. You atleast can submit that email conversation to CIC explaining the situation. Pardon my ignorance but for your occupation category and NOC code don't you have a LMIA?

A reference letter should be valid for ever. And your's is not too old. Submit it and if required CIC will come back to you.
