Commission

[Malih]

Hi there
I work as a nail technician. I receive my salary as a commission. In autumn and winter, the number of customers will be much less and my salary will be lower than the normal minimum wage. This makes me worried that if I try to apply for PR, there will be a problem?
But on the IRCC website that I look at, it is written that there is no minimum wage requirement for qualifying work expereience. But some lawyers say that the minimum wage is important for jobs

Are you working in Canada?

If not, to prove your work experience you want a job letter from your employer proving your job responsibilities, salary, hours worked. Do you have your ECA and IELTS completed? If so what is your eligibility score?

So what program are you applying to? If CEC and Canadian work experience, you will have your T4s to prove your employment/salary. Ask for employment letter too.

So you get a T4 slip for your taxes? Your salary should meet the median salary for your NOC for your region. Yes, it can be an issue.

Yes I get a T4. So why is there no minimum wage requirement written in the IRCC?

What do you mean? What PR program are you applying through? EE? There is no wage requirement. You must get tips too that you must claim on your taxes.

Yes, I'm planning for EE. And it is written there is no minimum wage requirement. So I want to make sure that it can not be an issue for EE?
