- SITUATION:
- ==========
-
- I worked in Canada during the fall 89 and spring 90 and as per my coy
- of T4 (equivalent to US W-2), the following taxes were deducted. All
- this time, my status was a student visa + a valid employment
- authorization, something similar to being on F-1 with an EAD in US.
-
- Fall 1989
- 1. Income tax: 2353.38
- 2. Canada Pension plan, employee's portion: 218.22
- 3. Unemployment insurance: 215.34
-
- amount in (1) DOES NOT include amounts in (2) and (3).
-
- Spring 1990
-
- 4. Income tax: 5522.61
- 5. Canada Pension plan, employee's portion: 507.11
- 6. Unemployment insurance: 534.08
-
- amount in (4) DOES NOT include amounts in (5) and (6).
-
- Upon filing tax returns, I was refunded miniscule portions of (1)+(4).
-
-
- I am NOT ALLOWED TO APPLY FOR ANY BENEFITS that are funded by the
- contributions (2), (3), (5) and (6) above, and I was told at the time
- that I *DID NOT* have to pay these taxes. However, my company was
- small (<20) and we only had a part time accountant so they just kept
- on deducting.
-
- QUESTIONS:
- ==========
-
- 1. Which government authority in Canada administers the pension and
- UI? Is it the ministry of Welfare? Who do I write to?
-
- 2. Am I entitled to get all the monies ( 2+3+5+6 + employer's
- contributions) back? With interest? Now? At 60? Ever?
-
- Thank you very much for any and all info and tips ... I would
- like to get my monies back and before I start talking to civil
- servants, I want to be ared with facts and tips.

- Gauls! We have nothing to fear; except perhaps that the sky may fall
- on our heads tomorrow. But as we all know, tomorrow never comes!!
