What should establish the date used for later planning in Martensville?

THE DIRECT ANSWER

Use the actual immigration records showing the relevant admission or adjustment event. Do not substitute the investment or petition date.

Keep the notices distinct

Several documents can be valid while recording different events.

Formation documents, the operating or shareholder agreement, share or membership ledgers, the lease or premises contract, licences, bank statements showing capital arriving and being spent, payroll registers, and tax filings once they exist. Keep the job-creation documentation separate from the personal source-of-funds records, since a strong study does not verify the investor's own capital and a clean funding history does not establish that the project will actually create the required jobs. For a haulage operation that means corporate records, financial statements across several years, vehicle titles and their disposal, the purchase and sale agreement, the closing statement, and the personal and corporate tax filings that reconcile with all of it. Bills of sale for each machine, the assignment of the timber contracts, corporate resolutions authorising the wind-up, tax returns reporting the gain, payout statements from equipment lenders, and bank records showing every account the money passed through.
