I need help. I want to apply for the express entry and I have employers I have worked for that no longer exist and I will not be able to get reference from them if I list them. Kindly advise. What do I do to ensure a successful application.

The first thing to do is see if you need that work experience in order to qualify. If not, you can just remove it from the work experience section.

If you need that work experience, you can ask your former supervisor to provide a letter with all the required information with their business card. You can also include your job offer letter, your end of employment letter, the contract signed with them, payslips, etc.

Thanks for your advise Colin.
I have worked for about 5 different employers 

* 2003 to 2009
* 2009 to 2009
* 2009 to 2011
* 2011 to 2016
* 2016 till date.

I am sure of only getting the needed letters from the last 2 employers. Will that be enough for a successful application?
