Objective: Determine if work experience qualifies for Canadian Experience Class (CEC) under Express Entry

[Dasdasd]

Employment Structure:

• Employee is physically present and working in Canada on a valid work permit
• Employed by a Canadian Employer of Record (EOR) company
• Canadian Company handles all payroll: T4 slips, CPP, EI deductions, income tax
• However: Employment contract states employee is "exclusively assigned to the Client" and works "under the management and supervision of the Client" (foreign company outside Canada)
• Client company is located outside Canada and provides day-to-day work direction

Key Question:
Does this arrangement qualify as "Canadian work experience" for CEC purposes, or would IRCC classify it as foreign work experience?

Yes, I assume that your T4, salary slip , employment is linked to Canadian SIN and you receive compensation in your Canadian bank account via payrol.

Yes the compensation comes in Canadian bank account.

But I heard that people who are working for foreign client and the Canadian company is only for payroll processing then it is not considered as the requirement under Canadian labour market. I am not sure and need to verify this.

that is not true; many multinational companies and well-known companies have their staff seconded into the client offices.
Your employment is linked to your SIN and that makes you canadian experince class.
Your employer in Canadian,
You are working for a Canadian firm which serve foreign curtomers,
You earn in CAD
Your T4 is linked to your SIN and proves that you are working as a Canadian work permit holder.

In the experience letter, you Canadian employer should explain typical job duties what you do for the Canadian employer and office to serve their customers.

I dont see any problem as I am also working with a Multinational company in Canada and serve middle east clients.

You must be working for a consulting firm who is providing your employment and paying you in Canada. What kind of WP are you on? Is the client in your home country and the home country of the employer. We have seen this similar pattern with Tata consulting

It is not a consulting firm. Just a Canadian registered employer who provides EOR services. The client is in US. I am on open work permit. The company has no physical office in Canada and it has registered offices(not physical) in most part of the world.

What type of WP did you receive to work for this employer?
