Hi All,

Would appreciate if someone can shed some light on this. A buddy of mine from India has been a Canadian PR for the past 4 years. Prior to this, he was working in India and abruptly quit his job once he got approved for PR, moved to Canada. His employer sent a notice of recovery for one month's salary for abruptly quitting his job, but he didn't pay it.

Fast forward 4 years, he wants to apply to renew his Indian passport, and is worried about not paying his dues to his employer.

He's not sure whether the employer took any legal action against him (his residential address in India is no longer valid). At the when he moved to Canada, 4 years ago, the employer only sent him one email informing him that he owes them. Can his application for passport renewal get rejected because of this?

Thanks in advance. Any response is much appreciated.

Unless there is a criminal court conviction and absconer...

Won't be a criminal case. If anything, it will be a civil law suit.

Also, my friend had already relocated to Canada (no residential address in India) when he got the notice of recovery, never went back since. So not sure if this is still considered absconding.
 
He should contact the employer to know if they have filed a missing person report in the police station of the addressees' jurisdiction. Also, explore ways to pay-up whatever he owes the company to stave off issues arising in the future. Its a small world, you can runaway but cant hide for too long.
