Thats the valid thing and most of them do this way. Also did you gave your Employment letter to CIC under Client company or Contracting company?

Letter from the contracting company. But I mentioned sole proprietor on the letter and I think this got the VOs attention.

Were you getting a cheque or direct deposit on you incorporation (Business account) or personal account?

Yeah see thats the problem. The VO came to know everything, you couldnt have mentioned that part.

If you got enough experience you can apply for EE as points are going very low around 450

So one thing is for sure that the VO does not marked you as self employed. I think the better way would be that you should have given LOE rom your employer and as you were paid by the contracting company(which I assume) you should have mentioned that the pay is coming from that account.

Hi Buddy,

Sorry to hear your refusal letter.

Actually under old CEC contracting job was not allowed (If you are incorporated) it was allowed under FSW but not under Canadian Experience Class.

Although it is now allowed in Express Entry.

My suggestion would be to get good immigration lawyer to consult the same.

He did mark me as self employed as it was evident from the word sole proprietor mentioned in the exp letter. Is it worth writing CIC again and explaining then my situation. Are there any hopes?

But guys don't you think this whole self employed thing should have been informed to me at the AOR stage?
When you do aor that means u r accepting that everything is fine on the file with respect to requirements

I dont know why but I still confused and not sure if this refusal is genuine or was it a mistake?...Let me summarize what I think you situation is....There is a client 'A' for whom you need to work...Rather than hiring you directly they said that you should come through a contracting company so that they do not have to bother about their head count (This is normal and happens everywhere).....This contracting company (or lets call it a body shopping company) placed you at the client location...so for you the employer is the contracting company and not the client....

Now the question is that when you were employed with this contracting agency, were you employed directly or did you had ur own corporation company where you were the owner/director?
