I don't know how many people will be able to help me on this topic, but I decided to ask anyway b/c I really don't know what to do.
I live in Buffalo but work in Fort Erie, Ontario, and in order to do this I need a work visa. To get a visa, you have to first visit the club you are interested in working at, have them fill out a contract, then bring it to immigration and they process it and give you a visa. One line of the contract is: Amount payable to dancers. When I got my first contract, the manager wrote in NIL on this line, stating that I don't get paid. So now there is a new manager at my club and I asked her to fill out a new contract for me, and in the Amount payable to dancer's line she wrote in $300 per week. I asked her if she could write NIL because I don't get paid and I didn't want to be held responsible for paying taxes on money that I don't get. She told me that her boss (the mgr. at the club down the road) told her to do it that way and I would'nt be able to get a visa if she didn't write in an amount (uh, I did LAST year). I just don't want to get in trouble for tax evasion b/c $300 per week equals out to $15,600 per year that I might be expected to pay on even though I am not bringing it home.
So should I go talk to the manager of the other club (my manager's boss) and explain to him the situation, just give immigration the contract that my manager wrote, or just work in Buffalo (which I really would rather not do). The manager who wrote my first contract has since got fired and I miss him. :-/
