I just received this from IRCC. Not sure if this officers know what he or she is talking about. I submitted paystubs for the work done during this period.
"You submitted a letter from ×××××× Staffing Incorporated. The letter stated you have worked 189 hours as a Personal Support Worker between 2020-07-07 and 2020-08-13.
However, I note ××××××× Healthcare did not make any Canada Pension Plan, Employment Insurance or Income Tax deductions on your monthly pay. It appears you have worked as selfemployed/independent contractor.
Under the Public Policy, Annex A, Note 3, it stated, “For greater certainty, self-employed caregivers or those who are employed by private households (directly employed by the person receiving care, or by the family/guardians of the person receiving care) are excluded from this public policy.”
Therefore, you have not demonstrated you met all of the eligibility criteria of the public policy. As a result, the application is refused.""
By the way all my colleagues that we work at the same place got approved with the same company as an independent contractor.
