Dear friends,
I would be grateful if you could share any related experiences to my question.
I’m preparing documents to submit for citizenship application, I’ve a question about question 11, job history. After I finished my PhD, I got post graduate work permit, and started post doc position. I applied for visa and travelled to my home country (before receding the visa result). The visa result got delayed. After one month the postdoc position got terminated, and continued working for the same research group of university remotely and sent them invoices. Three month later I was able to return to Canada, and continued the work for two extra weeks (I sent two invoices for this three and half period). And then I joined a company, which I’m still with after more than two years.
I’m assuming that three and half months period should be listed as self employed, right?. The payments I received from university are listed in a T4A. Should I name university in the employer column? For address, I’m guessing it should be my address in my home country ... the website says provide details if self employed, is this explanations enough? Any documents needed at this stage?
In tax return of that year, I had claimed it as self employment. I know information sending to CIC should match. I’m wondering what are the best inputs for the table in Q11, and if extra documents are needed or just explanation
Thank you
