Question: I am a Filipina live-in caregiver. I was sponsored in 2008 but was released on arrival by my supposed employer.
I was luckily employed by a bakery after and paid taxes on my own since then. I am now getting ready to apply as permanent resident but got a question which concerns me. Can I use the time spent with the employer who immediately released me if they are willing to issue me a T4 for my contributions?
Answer: Many live-in caregiver applicants are asking this question and has become common concern by many. The short answer is NO – you cannot use your employment time with the employer who released you on arrival.
The work time you spent in the bakery is un-authorized work and this is a clear misrepresentation if applying as a permanent resident. If I were you, I would seek professional help from a Canadian immigration lawyer before filing your application. Don’t worry about any information you give to your lawyer because those are confidential and protected under client-lawyer privilege.
