If you're not thinking about how your job will affect your citizenship application...I don't know what to say.
When you give your SSN and start paying federal income tax you sure think it's on the up and up.
You have to pay income tax even if your income is illegal, that's how they got Capone.
Yeah but you obviously think this is legal, and your company is automatically deducting from your paycheck.
Maybe the system is different here in Canada, but whenever I've spoken to anyone who is in the Immigration system, they are hyper focused on how their occupation will look on their application. Many people delay becoming self-employed for the appearance of stability, others attempt to work in jobs that make them look like upstanding citizens such as public service or charity, etc.
Opening her own business in a "legally grey" industry just seems like asking for trouble.
On your note of paying income tax, even criminal activity is supposed to be taxed. That's famously how they caught Capone! Just because you're not committing tax evasion doesn't mean you're on the up and up!
Hey we're hiring: Business analyst, accountant, IT support, operational manager, etc, etc. All good jobs that look good. Oh it's at company X that...
Just told this to someone else: Yeah but you obviously think this is legal, and your company is automatically deducting from your paycheck.
See my prior reply. That's not the way it went down. She was the business owner.
"I didn't think the leopards would eat my face!"
Oh we playing that game? See my prior reply too. Cheers.
