    New CEC - Jan 2013 Applications

    Hi I am wondering about section 10 of the updated check list. CIC still needs copies of T4 tax slips and Notice of Assessment issued by CRA. If someone like me has started his job on 1 January 2012, he has no T4 tax slip and NOA yet, but the 12-month employment is satisfied. So shall I wait...

Study permit alone gives legal status for working...
