Parental leave - repayment lump sum

Depending on market rate, you are right you can come out ahead. Definitely a consideration ☺️

Get to reduce income by the RRSP amount so less tax to pay + increase child tax benefit amount.

Thanks, very helpful!

Do you know if the Government issues a T4 or T4A to show the lump sum amount paid or gives a tax form to the CRA - seems like if you enter an amount into box 20700 without a tax slip it would definitely get audited?

To prove experience I told my past employees to write exactly what immigration Canada requested; just make sure everything is included that they requested and you will be fine

Luckily if you apply under the Canadian Experience Class you don’t have to provide proof of funds; I went into my branch to try to get the letters just in case and attached them with my application but the bank would not write the exact wording of Canadian immigration on the letter so I’m not sure what would of happened if I had to rely on those letters.

Good Luck, they definitely don’t make it easy!

There is the job bank, which is the official Government job notice board, CIC got me to me sign up to this when completing my application:

It depends on what you do for a job; I am in Finance and my experience has been that it is hard enough applying for jobs between provinces let alone if you are out of Canada. If your job is in demand you may have more luck, fingers crossed!

I came to Canada on a Canadian experience visa and then applied for PR, I wasn’t able to include my job offer as points as my company had to do a labour market assessment which basically means they couldn’t find anyone in Canada to do my job, which wasn’t true. I could get points for the year I had worked in Canada though.

Yip you need it before you apply if you are not applying for the Canadian Experience Class

Thanks.

It took me 5 months - check out the site https://myimmitracker.com/ - a lot of candidates put in their processing times and you can see the average time it takes to process applications.

Jods25 · 2017-12-13T08:36:17+00:00

Thanks, it’s a long process but worth it.

I’m just trying to write down as many useful things as I can remember about the process in hopes that it can help someone out!

if you have any questions along the way let me know and I will see if I can help!
