Hi, does an independent contractor working with a certain company qualify for Canada PR? Please look at the detailed explanation below:
A person (working in India) is employed with a certain Indian company as an "Independent Contractor". Unlike freelancers who may work for different clients, this person is working for just one company. The salary is paid by the company which is certain fixed amounts depending on the work done. There is no third party (client) involved here, just the person and the company. There are bank statements, salary slips, Income Tax return (India) statements, etc. to prove that this person is working & receiving a salary from this company.
Would the term "Independent Contractor" be a problem if the person applies for Canada PR? Since the person is not directly contacting clients for work (which is what a freelancer does), this would technically not be a "self-employed person". There are confusing terms on the Internet, especially the "Self-employed category" part. Would appreciate any input on this.
