T4 and T4A

[ezio]

Hi,

I got ITA under FSW program and I am using my RA and TA experience in Canada as my primary NOC 4012. I have reference letters and pay stubs for both of them. I also have T4 slip for the TA and T4A for the RA. Should I upload those slips as well along with the reference letters and pay stubs. I checked the CIC requirements and it says that we must include reference letters and pay stubs for each work claimed, but it doesn't say anything about T4 and T4A slips. Thanks.

Yes you can upload T4 and T4A slips along with reference letters for each position. Just merge the PDFs together in the end.

Thank you for your reply. Is it a must to include them knowing that I am applying under FSW not CEC? I am worried about the T4A slip that they may not consider my RA as it was non taxable. Do you have any info about this issue?

It is best practice to include as much information and documentation as possible to avoid trouble in the processing of your application.

I included my T4 as well as record of employment, which is something that you can request from your employer (I happened to have one on hand from when I took leave from my job). It's a bit overkill as long as you have a solid reference letter. Many people include these documents when there some information in the reference letter missing or cannot be properly verified.

IRCC will be aware that T4A are tax exempt and it won't make a difference to the experience because you were still paid. I was also an RA/TA, so I am familiar with your situation, but I applied under CEC without using that experience.

Good luck!
