Hi Friends, I just submitted my profile for express entry under CEC.
However, i just want to make sure that my work experience will be counted. Any advice and help would be greatly appreciated.

Question 1 :
I got hired one year back by an employment agency and their headquarters are in the US. They have a branch here in Toronto and its the Canadian branch who issues my payroll. The client who i work for through them is also a Canadian client. I'm wondering if this is valid experience even though the headquarters are in the US which also makes them a US company in a way?

Question 2 :
On my payroll, under the deductions section, there are 2 columns. One column is for employer and the other column is for employee. I see that the employer has deducted EI and CPP under the employer section and they have not deducted for Federal Income Tax. Instead, for federal income tax, it's deducted under the employee section. Is that how it's supposed to be? See table below for a simple example of how it looks like ( the payroll actually has a "current" and "year to date" amount but i omitted them for simplicity, amounts shown below are the same though). Would it cause any issues for my t4 or do i run any chance of being classified as self employed? Let me know if you need additional information.

CPP gov pension$45$45


Thanks a lot.
 
-I don't see any issues with your work experience being eligible. You can seek further clarification on this from senior members.

-Payslip calculations would be deemed correct based on the above example. Your employer is required to pay 1.4 times the amount ount that you pay for EI. CPP is based on the rates for the year. You can google these things for more clarity.
