I applied for PR under CEC under NOC 0213. My file was received on August 29th 2013 and got my AOR number.

I have read in a few forums that if the Salary on your pay slip is more and if the tax paid is less, then there is a good possibility that the VO might scrutinize the application more.

My current situation is that i have allowances shown on my pay slip and these allowances are non taxable. Because of this my T4 might show lower amount.

Does it make sense to send a covering letter explaining the situation?

If yes, should i email it to CPP-O address or should i send the letter by post?

Please suggest.

I don't think my NOA explains it any differently as it was purely calculated based on my T4.

Thank you Gladaki. The difference is big, so i sent an email to CPP-O and got an automated response.
I guess that should be good.

Hope you've read the automated message and followed the included instructions on how to properly
email CPP-O.
If not, or if you've deleted that email, I have the instructions on my webiste.
Go to >> http://cectoolkit.weebly.com/ and check the 'Canadavisa.com links' section for a link called ' How to I contact CPP-O? '

Hi Toby,

I did everything except "Please include your application number and the purpose of your email in the title."

Instead, i used the subject line as "Application for Permanent Residence".

Do you think it makes sense to re-send the mail again with proper subject line?

This is why the instructions state that your Letter of Employment needs to state your salary & benefits.

If your letter states your benefits, not a problem If the payslip is itemized, it will show a difference between wages/salary and allowances, and that will help. But this information should come from your employer.

My Pay-slip provided by my employer is itemized and it does show the details of all the allowances.

But my letter of employment does not show the details. It only shows my salary.

I would think that would be sufficiently clear.
