I have a concern and I hope you can help me figure out what to do. This is my case.

I worked for a previous employer for 3 months which I wasn't able to get my ROE from for the reason that I cannot contact her and I have no idea of her whereabouts. She did not issue my ROE.

I am currently working for a family for almost two years(24mos) now and will apply this December 2013 for PR. Now, you see on the checklist for applying a Permanent Residence, I need to provide the ROE for ALL previous employers.

OPTION 1: Proof of 24 months of authorized full-time employment as a live-in caregiver within four years from the date you entered Canada
under the Live-in Caregiver Program.
9.Letter from your current employer showing your start date and that you still work for them AND
10.Contract(s) with your current and previous employer(s)
(these must be the same contracts reviewed and approved by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) and
Citizenship and Immigration Canada at the time the Labour Market Opinion and work permit applications were reviewed) AND
11.Statement of earnings showing hours worked and deductions made by the employer(s) AND
12.Record of wages and deductions sent to Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) by your employer(s) AND
13.Record of employment (ROE) for all previous employers AND
14.Option C Printout from your date of entry into the Live-in Caregiver Program
(this document may be obtained free of charge from the CRA by calling 1-800-959-8281)

My question is, what will I do? I do not have an ROE from my previous employer and can't get it from her, I tried submitting a request form in Service Canada but they cannot help me at all, I am so frustrated and I hope somebody please enlighten me on this situation. :(
 
Write a letter attached to the complete application stating the reasons why you can't include the RoE and just attach the T4 with it. They'll see that you've worked with them for few months. Hope that helped.

Are you going to submit your PR/OWP application? I submitted a copy of my employment contract when submitting PR/OWP application and I have received my OWP about three months after submitting the application.

Good luck with your application.

I sent T4 for the record of wages and deduction, and copies of my monthly pay stubs from my employer (signed) for the statement of earnings.

If you can type your monthly paystubs in one or two pages, that is probably OK. But they should show the same details as in your monthly paystubs, then ask your employer to sign the papers. I didn't bother to make this format.

As for OWP application, I attached the copy of my passport and my current (valid) work permit. Write OPEN WORK PERMIT at the top of OWP form.
 
Hi there! this is timely in my case. My previous employer was my sister in law. I worked there for 6 months i didn't obtain my ROE because the day I was telling them that I wanted to find a new employer, was the moment they told me if its my decision then I should leave right away which I did, the reason behind why I wanted to find another employer I cant elaborate it anymore. I dont have pay stubs. The only documents I have are contract and lmo. This August I will apply for OWP/PR. That's my concern. I went to Canada Service and filled up a form that was January 31, 2014 so running 3 months. So far no response from my previous employer. Any advice? Thank you I'd really appreciate that.

Hi there.. How long have you been working for your second employer? and what did you filled up at Canada Service exactly? do you have t4 atleast from your 1st employer? if you do just write a letter stating the reason why you dont have your ROE and attached your t4 slip from them.. If you dont have a t4 from them then you dont have any proof that you worked from them. did they pay u cash?
 
hi..i also have the same problem with you coz I cant provide an roe from my first employer what I did when I applied for my pr I just send a letter of explanation is to why I didn't have one.well,that works because I already have my first stage approval.
