    1 ) As per IRCC, you need to have at least 1 year of CONTINUOUS work (1530 hours total or 30 hours a week). This work experience can be a combination of full-time and part-time work. As long as you have 1 year of CONTINUOUS work, you should hopefully be fine.

    2 ) Your reference letter should include the following information:

    – Your name

    – Date of employment

    – Number of hours worked per week

    – Position name

    – Duties & responsibilities of your position (these must match the duties & responsibilities list in the NOC code you selected as your primary field of experience).

    – Any other salary benefits you may have been receiving

    If you have held multiple positions in the same company, then a single reference letter would suffice for your express entry profile. But, the reference must include the above mentioned information for EACH position you’ve held in the company.

    3 ) IRCC does not give a specific time as to how recent a reference letter should be – rather they write that it must be RECENT. A reference letter that is 2 years old would not be considered ‘recent’ by any reasonable person, so I would suggest getting a new one.
