Is employer reference older than 3 years worth to include in the visa application
I would like to have your thoughts on this. I had my skills assessment done, I have been granted state sponsorship lately and I score enough points for the 475 visa so I am now ready to apply.
At first I thought that I would only have to show my "recent work experience" (12 months out of 24) because anyway I don't have the specific work experience requirement filled (3 years out of 4). However, I have been told that I should include references of ALL previous jobs.
Do you think that I should also include my employer references from ALL previous jobs older than 3 years or this won't change anything to the eyes of the CO?
Thank you

Re: Is employer reference older than 3 years worth to include in the visa application
Thanks for your reply. Actually, I don't have a job sponsorship but a state regional sponsorship (visa subclass 475). The only requirement I have to meet is the recent work experience which is only 12 months out of 24 before logdging the application.
I can't find anywhere else details regarding requirements of the visa 475 that say more than the past 2 years of work experience needed. Except of course, if I want more points for specific work experience, which is not my case.
If there is something I am missing, please let me know.
Thanks.

Whenever you have been sponsored by a state against your nominated occupation they have assessed your CV and work experiences. Did you mention all the experience you have in your work life? If "Yes" then you need to provide all the work references of last 4 years as I have provided in my application.

Let me clarify in this way:

If "Yes" then you need to provide all the work references of last 4 years as I have provided in my application.

What you are saying makes alot of sense. I should stick to what was in my resume and the other documents I sent for my state sponsorship.
Cheers.
