In my case, I am working with GC sponsor but not in the exact LC position or salary. (I worked in that exact position with them before during the first 2 years of sponsorship) So, I am assuming that the above letter may not be applicable to me. Am I right ?
I have 3 options I think:
1. Have the letter say I am working in same position as mentioned in LC but at a different (actually lesser than LC) salary.
To this further options are:
a. Explain reason for lower salary as fall in prevailing wages and invoke AC21 for change in salary. (or)
b. Explain reason for lower salary as fall in prevailing wages. And leave it at that without invoking AC21. (or)
c. Not explain the salary difference at all. And not invoke AC21 either.
(or)
2. Have the letter say that the original position is an open offer to me at the LC wages, although I am currently working in a similar position at a different level and lower salary of my own volition and choice, and that I am expected to accept the offer of LC position after GC has been obtained.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
