It could affect the application if there are discrepancies. But you don't say what type of application for PR - not all applications require T4s...

Your employer is required to file an amended T4 statement, and give you copies. There may be little difference, but you will probably have to file an amended tax return as well.

Since your employer has to do it anyway, just do it and get it over with. You may have the corrected T4 sooner than you think, certainly it's better than waiting until you receive next year's....

You will never go wrong with an accurate fact. Correct it as soon as you can. It will save you a lot of trouble in the future. Don't wait for the authorities to discover the discrepancy later. That's too risky and may jeopardize your PR application.
