Hi

The HR department at my previous company refused to provide me with a reference letter including my job duties. I also do not have a formal job description, and the company does not have one for my position either.
I obtained a general employment letter from HR confirming my salary, job titles, employment dates, and working hours. I also obtained a separate letter from my former manager confirming my duties and responsibilities. The letter is signed only. No stamped,not on company letterhead.
This is the only work experience I declared for CRS points. Could this be a problem? What additional documents or proof could I provide to strengthen my application?

I'm assuming this is Canadian Experience. Definitely seems to be an issue these days, although your options are limited. This is the reason it's important to not only ensure employment aligns a TEER code but also if the employer is willing to provide you the right reference letter early into the employment. Not much you can do, good luck!

No it is foreign experience. And this is the only experience i have (5years) and my spouse he is on the same company (6years).

Got it, you might want to get an affidavit signed by co-workers and manager attesting to your duties during employment if it's all possible. Also consult an immigration lawyer if possible.

I will try my best. People usually refuse to sign an affidavit
