PR Renewal for Self Employed

Hi guys,
I am about to renew my PR card and I have a question regarding my employment record. Since coming to Canada about three yeas ago, I have been working as an independent consultant for clients inside and outside Canada. I have a properly incorporated company with me as the director and president, I have filed my taxes (both personal and corporate) properly for the past three years and have documentary proof (e.g. corporate and personal NOAs, Industry Canada filings etc.).

Because I run my own company, I obviously do not have T4s and salary slips. I pay myself through dividends from my company. My question to senior members is whether a lack of T4s is a significant enough red flag for CIC to delay my PR renewal process (i.e. secondary review)? Is there a way for me to mitigate this risk?

Thanks

If you have been filing your taxes, just your NoAs should be fine.

Thanks Keesio. I guess I will submit my NOAs and hope for the best. :) Any other advice from forum members in a similar situation (what you submitted, what was the outcome?) would be highly appreciated. Thanks.
