Of course I have worked here and there as student, so I guess my question is If I did provide maybe 2 reference letters from 2 past employers would that be ok? and not provide all of them? (some places i only worked like 1 month, some other places I was a temp for a couple of weeks, so really can't get to all of them).

I would concentrate on getting references for the Companies that you've worked for more than 6 months.

Best of luck.

Taken from the Quebec website:

Les attestations de travail doivent être produites sur le papier en-tête de l’entreprise. Elles doivent être datées, signées et porter le nom du signataire. Elles doivent aussi contenir les renseignements suivants :

* vos dates de début et de fin d'emploi;
* le cas échéant, votre numéro d’immatriculation à la sécurité sociale relative à votre activité professionnelle;
* les coordonnées de vos employeurs, y compris leur numéro de téléphone;
* les postes que vous avez occupés et la description des tâches que vous avez effectuées.

I think the last bit is looking for a job description or maybe my french isn't very good
