I need documents from Montreal

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Hello to all, 

I was already in Montreal, Canada the year 1974. I was there from April 27th until October 1st. 1974.
My home country is Croatia (part from ex Yugoslavia) but I live in Slovenia since long time.
As in Croatia was war between 1991 and 1995 and all my papers were there; all was destroyed, together with the house. Now, I have nothing from Montreal, Canada except two documents from Canadian Embassy in Berlin, Germany.  One is Verification of Entry and other is the proof that I came to the Airport, Montreal April 27th. 1974.
During these five months in Montreal I was working four months in one small company for music cassettes and in the evening have visited French School. 
I need some proof that I was working there, but don't know how to get them. 
Is there any way, I could get it, please?
I can't fly now to Montreal (have monthly only 400 Euros) because of the papers. 

Who can help me, please?

Ms. Bozica Vujcic

	Do not look where you fell, but where you slipped.

	Go here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/certcopy.asp and get a replacement / certified true copy of your landing documents. It is all on file, on microfiche from back then. The process takes over 3 months. Funny - my wife recently filed for a cert copy of her IMM1000 from Montreal in 1975. A month later she got a letter from CIC saying they received her request, and would process it within 3 months. We should get it any day now. As for proof of working: Does the company where you work still exist? If so, can you contact them and ask for a record of employment? Did you file taxes in Canada while you were living here? If you filed taxes, you can get a copy of your NOA (Notice of Assessment) from Revenue Canada. Not sure if they have full copies of your tax return from that year, but they might - and if they do, you might have a T4 from your former employer. Hope this helps. They will mail it to you wherever you live.

	Hello Harmonia, Thank you very much for good information. About the company: I have no idea does the company exists. I only remember one of managers, called Stanly: he wrote me back and told that I am "always welcome back in Montreal". They wanted me to be their secretary after my French should be good enough. About taxes there: I have nothing. There, in the small company we were young women from all countries. I remember green papers where my salary was for each week. Those papers are destroyed. I hate the war. Who has damage from them? We, who did nothing wrong! My documents are deleted. There will be nothing from all my writting around. Kind regards, Bozica Edited by boyana027 - 25 Mar 2011 at 8:58am

	Additional message: I have got the job over: Immigration Office in Montreal. What is interesting here: few days before my departure, I have got the letter where they gave me offer for new job, somewhere in office. I left Montreal from two reasons: 1. Because people were talking about very cold winter there (I have chronic sinusitis and neuralgia's since Secondary School), 2. My mother became sick, just this summer when I was in Montreal. I was her youngest child, was early away and she missed me a lot. She was better then and lived until 1990. Bozica p.s. I would like to have address, where can I send my two documents!

	Hi, Can somebody remove my black-white photo, please? I am sure, from all that will be: NOTHING! Even people, they were in the war, have some proof they were there. If nothing else, they have killed somebody. B.

	Boyana -- You can remove your own post (photo). At the top right of the posting click on "Post Options" and edit your post (remove the picture). As for tax information -- if you filed taxes in Canada, you can get the info right from Revenue Canada.

	If you filed your income taxes while you worked in Canada, you are entitled to get a copy of your Notice of Assessment for whatever tax year you filed in. Note - this isn't proof that you worked in a specific place, but it could be proof that you worked in Canada and paid taxes. If you didn't file - and the company no longer exists, I don't know where else you can turn to. My question: why do need proof of employment from a 4 month work term in the 1970's? ALSO: to remove your picture, you just need to select "DELETE POST" from the post options. Edited by Harmonia - 26 Oct 2010 at 2:12pm
