PR card Renewal Query from CIC ..Please Advise ..Urgent!

[Rikky]

Hi All-
We got our PR back in May 2007 that time we were living in USA and working there.so we just landed and went back to USA. After that we Visited Canada twice once in Nov 2007 for a friends house warming and then in Oct 2009 for our H1 Visa stamping. Myself and my husband both got stampings for H1 and H4 and then went back to US. Our PR cards were valid still Oct 2012 so My husband moved permanently to Canada on 1st of June 2010. Since then he is living in the country and tried for his relevant job and working in a store. He has already completed more than 940 days in the country..so he applied for his PR card renewal in august 2012 ..after 2 months CIC asked him to send all of his pasport pages including blank and he did send them..then his case is transfered to local CIC office in Kitchener and we received a letter from them to submitt following documents to prove his presence in Canada for 730 days.

1.All passport pages including Blank pages.
2.Proof of employment for last 5 years.
3.CBSA Travel passage history.

The Store people are refusing to give him a letter for the proof of employment..We declared everything in our taxes and filed taxes for 2010 and 2011 and about to file for 2012 also but we dont have much income for the past 2 years.

So how to show the proof for this employment?

Now, Coming to my case my PR card also got expired in OCT 2012 and I am living in this country from
Dec 2010 to till date and I haven't gone outside the country and completed my 770 period. I completed all my application package and about to send last week ..But after seeing my husband's query I am worried as i need to travel my back home in the month of May ..Iam also planning to include my AIr ticket for urgent processing..Please advise us is it ok to apply mine at this time as my husband got query?

Please share your thoughts..All the help is appreciated.

Why store people don't want to show that they were paying your Husband when they can get Tax benefit? How your Husband was paid by check or cash. Your hueband can also send them doctor visit record, is he was in contact with any social or welfare organization, a letter from them may also be helpul.

In your case if have a clean passport, you also better send max proof of residence, like doctors certificate confirming your visit, credit card history. If you are connected to some welfare organization then proof of your connection, proof of telephone bills with calls details, utility bills of each month on your name and address etc.

Hi Hasher-

Thanks for your prompt reply..Unfortunately my husband was paid cash and if the store is refusing to give him employment letter how to show that he worked for them for so and so period and Is it ok to include all my bills etc when I am sending my application to Sydney for Urgent processing?

Thanks for all the help!

they already seems like started process of residency questionnaire. you got a chance. try to submit as many proofs as possible to save the pr status. like may be doctor's visit, car insurance, bank statements, utility bills, employment is the main one try to get that proof if possible. if even he was working on cash what was the reason i mean if he was on govt. support or something include those paper and don't show the employment then but make a very strong case with all proofs before sending them the documents.
best of luck

So I assume that your husband was working under the table, no paperwork, no job contract, no pay slips and cash pay only? If that is the case, no wonder the employer does not want to admit that they had him working there and he will have a very hard time proving it. Getting statements from at least two other employees stating that he has been working there could help but they may also not want to get on the bad side of the employer. However, in the end, his evidence may not be sufficient and he might not be able to get his PR card. However, they also don't have prove that he didn't stay in Canada so they will not kick him out.

Additional proof of his staying in Canada would be bank records because they show that he has been purchasing things and using ATM's in Canada. Same with phone bills. They could however still claim that he was not the one using the cards / phone but gave it to someone else to use.

And for the future, ditch this job and get a legit above the table job. If you can't find one where you live, then move. That's what Canadians do.
