One more question, just considering options

The OETC, I was on CDN payroll from Jan 1 til July 20, 2011.

Quick question

Well I think the concern is, if they fill out the form and in turn CRA deems me non eligible does it blow back on them

Well they are actually a very decent company to work for. They just like to really play by the book, and would rather err on the side of caution. I just have to do some ass kissing.
