There is no law as such you cant work for multiple employer at the same time, so i don't think its illegal, but it might create problems in verification and documentation part. Given your situation if I were you, i will submit details only which i can easily prove and wont over complicate my application. because working in canada and india same time - no way going to help me in CRS points. Better show only canadian exp after you landed. You can add details personal history to clarify your parallel working if you think so.

As long as the employer didn’t have offices in Canada and you declared the income on your Canadian taxes you should be fine.

Assume they will likely need proof from that they were employed from the Indian employer and lying is the worst thing you can do when it comes to IRCC.

Well i have proofs for everything like form16 payslips and every thing till 09 april 2021 so i just need clarity that should i altogether remove my india experience and place that in personal history or should i submit as it is now will all the proofs. my Indian employer has office in Canada but i worked for india office only and that clearly implies in my proofs as well

If the employer had an office in Canada and you were on a closed work permit you couldn’t work from them from India. That would essentially allow people to bypass a Canadian work permit.

hey.. My case is quite similar to you. I hope by this time you might have completed your PR process, Can you please let me know if there was an issue if we had overlapping working days. It would be great help if you could share your guidance.
