737.22.0.0.6.2. For the purposes of this Title, the employment contract that an individual entered into with an eligible employer, in this section referred to as the “original contract”, or a deemed contract, is deemed to end at the time when the individual ceases to be a foreign expert.
Where on 1 January 2001 an individual to whom the fourth paragraph applies holds employment with an eligible employer, the employment contract the individual entered into with that employer, in this section referred to as the “original contract”, is deemed to have ended before that date.
In addition, where at a particular time an individual would again become a foreign expert if this section were read without reference to the first and second paragraphs and the portion of paragraph c of the definition of “foreign expert” in the first paragraph of section 737.22.0.0.5 before subparagraph i and paragraph d of that definition were read as if “from the particular time to the end of the year or the part of the year” was replaced by “throughout the year or the part of the year”, the following rules apply:(a) the individual is deemed to enter into, with the eligible employer, a new employment contract, in this section referred to as the “deemed contract”, and that contract is deemed to be entered into at the particular time; and
(b) the individual is deemed to take up employment, as an employee, with the eligible employer at the particular time and is also deemed to begin at that time to perform the duties of that new employment.
The individual to whom the second paragraph refers is the individual who(a) is not resident in Canada immediately before entering into the original contract or immediately before taking up employment, as an employee, with the eligible employer;
(b) has no eligible activity period that is running on 1 January 2001 in relation to that employment; and
(c) may deduct, in computing the individual’s taxable income for a taxation year preceding the year 2001, in relation to that employment, an amount under section 737.22.0.0.7, or could so deduct such an amount if the eligible employer had not failed to apply, in respect of the individual, for a certificate referred to in the definition of “foreign expert” in section 737.22.0.0.5, as it read for that preceding taxation year.
The expiry, termination or cancellation of the original contract or any other event having the effect of terminating the original contract also entails the expiry, termination or cancellation, as the case may be, of a deemed contract continuing the original contract, or otherwise terminates such a contract.
The renewal of the original contract also entails the renewal of a deemed contract continuing the original contract, except if the deemed contract is deemed to have ended under the first paragraph.
