Salary received in Cash. Is that a problem?

[gpabari]

My wife is the primary applicant due to her age and she has more than 3 years of work experience under a certain NOC. She was working for a small company which paid her salary in cash. She used to file her own returns showing as a business income. She did not used to get any benefits like PF etc. I have the following documents:

1. Joining & Relieving Letter
2. Salary Slips
3. Bank Statements (however, the deposits are done by her. No direct salary credit)
4. Income Tax Returns

I have 2 questions:

1. Can this be a problem if this is the experience on the basis of which she is applying?
2. What kind of documents do I need apart from the ones mentioned above?

Thanks in advance.

IRCC mainly requires reference letter from the company on letter head.Please check the below requirements to prove work experience.

The following documents are mandatory for each work experience declared:

• a reference or experience letter from the employer, which
  • should be an official document printed on company letterhead (must include the applicant’s name, the company’s contact information [address, telephone number and email address], and the name, title and signature of the immediate supervisor or personnel officer at the company),
  • should indicate all positions held while employed at the company and must include the following details: job title, duties and responsibilities, job status (if current job), dates worked for the company, number of work hours per week and annual salary plus benefits; and
• if the applicant is self-employed, articles of incorporation or other evidence of business ownership, evidence of self-employment income and documentation from third-party individuals indicating the service provided along with payment details (self-declared main duties or affidavits are not acceptable proof of self-employed work experience).
