You might have better ways like a CV, etc. But CV is subject to contests and the easiest and least contestable one are to send in references from previous employers. You can choose not to provide such a letter but for someone that just want to get a VISA smoothly why pick a fight with the immigration department.
And try applying for jobs at the banks or with a public/Government entity. Even after they offer you the job and you have received a VISA, you are expected to submit ALL letter of references from previous employers, unless you can argue that the company has closed down or for any non-compliant reason refuse to issue such a letter.
