    CEC - Independent Contractor Experience

    Thanks man. I think it's worth to give it a shot. I just noticed she is actually a consultant (lol whoops), but she is a trained lawyer in our home country. Here is her website; https://www.consultimmigrationcanada.com/contact/

    CEC - Independent Contractor Experience

    Hi guys, for everyone who worked as a contractor but was a de-facto employee, I got my COPR this morning!! It's been 14 months since my application but it was honestly worth the wait. I applied with a letter explaining my situation and a letter from my employer. I had an immigration lawyer (not...

    CEC - Independent Contractor Experience

    As I said in the thread before I applied with an Explanation letter (wrote it, lawyer approved), experience letter (from my employer) and a transaction history (showing the bi-weekly payment i received), still haven't heard anything after 11 months. Edit: I had my lawyer explain the situation...

    CEC - Independent Contractor Experience

    When I was applying (11 freaking months ago, still heard nothing, but that's not the point lol) my lawyer said IRCC does not have a system in place to contact CRA in such cases. So I don't think even if you get rejected you will put your bosses in trouble in any way possible. Especially since...

    Can I change Passport office to Different country?

    I was wondering this too, I applied march 10th and it would be ideal if I could wait it out back home since we don't have a timeline. Any answers would be appreciated.

    @vmilost they have not so far. I explained my situation in a client letter I wrote and had my lawyer approve, hopefully that would be enough. Thanks, good luck to you too!

    CEC - Independent Contractor Experience

    Perfect, thank you very much. I went to an immigration lawyer already, she advised me to apply with a client letter explaining my situation. Can you provide me a comprehensive list of documents you have submitted? I was thinking I would attach a transaction history document to my client letter...

    CEC - Independent Contractor Experience

    Thanks for your reply, As I said, I am technically a contractor so I will do my own taxes and I did not get a T4. But I can make the argument my work relationship is more employer - employee than contractor like the "quote" from the government website. And I can request a ruling from CRA which...

    CEC - Independent Contractor Experience

    Hello everybody, So I know that since independent contractors are technically self-employed, the experience you gain does not count towards CEC applications. However, I am pretty sure my job and working conditions would imply I am actually de-facto employee. Even found the NOC code that would...
