Athlete Canadian experience class

[AthleteA]

Hi I'm an Athlete and I have one year experience in Canada.I'm interesting in how much money minimum I have to earn per year? And on how much money I have to pay a tax? And how to pay a tax when I have 6 mounts work in in 2014 and six in 2015? What is mean a record from employer? And pay stubs from employer? If I don't have a T4 what kind of documents exactly I need. Pleas answer. Thanks!

As long as your NOC is 0 A B, you can be qualify in CEC (With other requirements too)

Canadian Tax year for individuals is calendar year. Normally, your employer will deduct the tax before it reaches your hand in every pay period. Then every March/April (Tax season in Canada) you will report the money you earn in that calendar year and get tax return money (or tax owed)

You should have T4 slip from your employer for 2014 by now, if not you should talk to them.

If you will work in 2015, you will report the tax by end of April 2016

Thank you very much for respond! There are two diferent situation, one is when the employer doing the deduction and other situation is when the worker has to do tax by hisself. I'm in second category and I've heard the minimum you should earn is 24 000$ per year to be able to apply for PR, I don't know is that true? Anyway thank you for your response!

your income shouldn't affect PR application. Although an extreme low income (per hour) could mean it doesn't meet provincial min wage (illegal) or occupations' minimum (CEC req'm) and CIC officers could decide the work experience isn't valid.

The T4 only shows income of the year and they can't say that based on T4 alone

Never heard that one before!

There's no "minimum wage" for immigration. However, as it sounds like you are self-employed, you would not be eligible under the Canadian Experience Class program, but you *might* be eligible after 2 years under the self-employed program -

Instructions are written for the standard employment situation (emploiyer/employee relationship). If you don't get a T4 because you are self-employed...
1) you should get a T4A instead of T4.
2) You should still be filing your taxes in Canada, and receive a Notice of Assessment (that is one document you can use as proof of income),
3) Paystubs/statements/invoices can also be used.
4) A letter from employers is always required; if you're self-employed, the wording will be a little different, but you would still want a letter from the Club describing your job title, job duties and responsibilities, employment/contract details with the club (start-end dates, work hours per week, remuneration incl. benefits)

Ok man thank you very much for your information. But I'm not self employee I think that there are two kinds of worker I heard something there are contractors who should pay taxes by there self and other where the employer doing the deduction and employee can have a T4. anyway if you have any other information related with the subject pleas text me!

 

[jes_ON]

there are contractors who should pay taxes by there self

Sorry to break it to you, but contractors who pay their own taxes generally ARE self-employed...

For more info, you should refer to the CRA website -

What your position is in the club and your responsibilities doesn't determine whether you are self-employed or not. It's how you were paid. As Jes_ON explained, if you paid your own taxes, CIC will most likely classify you as someone who was self-employed. It doesn't matter how you or your club classify your job - all that matters is how CIC classifies it.
