Country tie using current employment

[iceage]

Hello Seniors!

My current employer agree to give me a paid vacation (50% of basic) for 20 months to go to Canada for having valuable working experience as a professional development as well as accompany my wife in Canada who is a full-time student there.

BUT I need to sign an agreement where:
1. I must grant to the Employer a continuing lien on a property of mine as security. If I fail to come within vacation they will terminate from employment and will claim for Lien (sell the property for the money they paid me).
2. After returning, I must work for 4 years in their company.
3. They may not accept any requests to extend the leave of absence unless I show inability to work because of proven sickness or injury.
4. If I can show at least one year foreign working experience in IT industry in this vacation time, the Employer will offer “Lead Applications Programmer” position with higher salary.
5. During the period of absence, the Employer reserves the right to terminate me without any cause and, consequently this Agreement shall be void.


Now, my questions are:
1. If I show this agreement while applying for Open Work Permit along with TRV then, will it work as strong country tie?
2. May this agreement effect my PR application in future?

Waiting for your response.......

Thanks!

1. This may work for your advantage, but I doubt that such agreement would be seen as a 'strong country tie'. The embassy has no means to verify the validity of this agreement. Plus the terms are a bit confusing (to me), so it's hard to say how they are going to interpret it, unless it's something common in your country. IMHO, if you just bring the paper, that they are going to give you a better job when you come in 20 months, that would work the same, and be less confusing to understand.
2. The agreement itself may not affect your PR application. However, if there is any legal issue or judicial proceeding, this may affect an application negatively.
