employer not following what's in the contract

[Jasmac]

hi everyone! my work permit has just arrived and my employer is not following the amount of salary that is in my contract and LMO. one of the requirements in submitting the application is T4 tax information slip and Notice of Assessment issued by Canada Revenue Agency, if i apply under the CEC after 2 years of working, would CIC know the salary shortfall?

thanks in advance

CIC needs your latest two year T4 and NOA. You will receive your T4 from your employer.

Contracts can be changed on agreement from both parties (you and your employer).

I am pretty sure you can, As a graudate there is no reuirement for a single employer but it just looks good if you don't switch 20 employers. But for tempory workers CEC class, I am not sure if it has to be a one single employer. I still doubt it because they are only concerned about work experience time and length. Read the guide for Temporary foriegn worker again and i'll keep you posted if i find something there too. But i doubt it.

Can be any employer. Make sure not many, as you need to get reference letters for the last three years, where ever you worked.

The requirement is T4 and NoA for the most recent year, not the last two years.

That's right. You don't have to submit a job offer letter, contract, or LMO—just a reference letter from the employer. As long as the reference letter matches the evidence from the T4 and NoA, you're fine.

CEC eligibility is based on experience up to the date of the application. After that, it doesn't matter what you do. You can quit your job the day after you apply, if you want. (Assuming you don't have an evil employer who refuses to verify the reference letter because they're mad at you for quitting, that is...)

1) If your employer is not following the contract, they are violating federal Labour law. You should contact your provincial labour office to find out what you should do.

2) If you apply after 2 years, an IO may notice the difference between your contract and what is on your T4 and NOA. I would hope so.

3) No, it would not affect YOUR eligibility, but your employer could be in trouble. I would hope so.

4) Do you really want to stay for 2 years with this employer?

WRONG. A labour market opinion is issued based on the information in the contract. An employer may not change the terms of the contract without a new labour market opinion. (Of course, they may pay you MORE than what is in the contract if they want, but not less).

A CEC application has NO RELEVANCE to your ability to change employers. Only the terms of your current work permit matter. You can change employers if you have an open work permit.

If you are on a closed work permit, you cannot simply change employers. If your new employer obtains a positive LMO, and you obtain a new temporary work permit, THEN you can change employers.
