No expertise necessary to give advice like "
good idea to see a lawyer." And, indeed, IF keeping PR status is important for
@santaita7, that is probably the best advice anyone here can offer.
I am not qualified to give personal advice, and particularly not anywhere near sufficiently informed of the relevant facts to suggest how the OP navigate the situation (other than the obvious, such as "
see a lawyer").
I am, however, well enough informed to recognize that creating or manipulating documentation to fit, so to say, for the purpose of qualifying for a credit, rather than provide straight-forward, honest information and documentation accurately showing what the facts are (in this instance, that would be showing what the employment is and its true terms), is
at best a recipe risking a perception of deception . . . and potentially outright fraud, perhaps even criminal fraud.
BEYOND THAT . . .
Sorting out the facts in a complex claim for RO credit based on time working-abroad-for-a-Canadian-business, or as employed in the federal public administration or the public service of a province, can be difficult.
BUT most of the cases seen in this forum are not really all that complex. Most of these cases tend to not even come close.
I have more than occasionally commented that "
Actually qualifying for the working-abroad-for-Canadian-business-credit toward PR RO tends to be very tricky for any PR who actually needs the credit." And overstating things some, but not by a lot, I have sometimes commented that if the PR needs the credit, then it is unlikely he or she qualifies for the credit.
I have addressed this credit and related issues, with numerous citations and links to OFFICIAL sources (botched many of the links, so the url needs to be copied rather than clicked on to get to the source), at length in multiple threads, including a topic titled "
Working Abroad RO credit, including "business trips;"
an update" which is here:
https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-i...it-including-business-trips-an-update.607559/ (noting, though, that discussion is now nearly two years old, and that particular one is largely focused on whether so-called "
business trips" earn credit toward RO compliance; nonetheless the discussion is relevant and the linked sources informative).
Which is largely background for why I tend to agree with the skepticism offered here. It appears the credit is not available in the situation the OP describes.
BUT . . . BUT the DETAILS MATTER. Details as to who the employer is. Details as to the precise terms of employment, including terms specifically in regards to the position itself.
Which leads to . . .
Again, as others have cautioned, the situation APPEARS to be one in which the RO credit for days working abroad is NOT likely applicable. BUT whether that is actually the case depends on the details, including details of a sort which should not be shared in a forum like this.
And then there is the question whether the OP (
@santaita7) honestly AND reasonably believed that the employment arrangement would qualify for the credit, and perhaps obtain H&C relief allowing the OP to keep PR status based on this. Which gets into an even deeper level of detail. But, which also depends on what the OP's plans are going forward, and on the OP's priorities, how important it is for the OP to keep Canadian PR status.
The OP can travel to Canada while the PR card is still valid and see how things go, and make decisions about how to proceed after that.
If keeping Canadian PR status is a priority for the OP, it would probably be best to obtain the assistance of a qualified, reputable immigration LAWYER (not just a consultant). Sooner is better. Or, at least upon returning to Canada and seeing how things went at the PoE.
