So in July after searching for six weeks I got a new nanny. She seemed pretty good on paper and her references checked out. I asked for her SIN but she said she had misplaced it (I know she has one as shes from out east and is Canadian - but might be lazy around this). Anyway every single week she ended up in hospital for some reason or another, and when I asked her to get a new letter or whatever she said she would go get it, but I guess due to being in the hospital all the fucking time she hasnt got it. I wasnt that bothered as I trusted her to get it and didnt really need it unless I a) needed to lay her off or b) filing taxes at the end of the year. When ever she goes into hospital her boyfriend is always the one doing all the communicating - I dont know if this is because she is a really private person or whatever, anyway around 20th of September she ended up going into hospital with some allergic reaction. He's been sporadically texting me back and forth giving me more details etc. Last week I asked if she was coming to work and he said tuesday as in the 2nd of October. Tuesday came and went and she didnt turn up. On tuesday this week he texted and said she was being released that day and should be at work on Thursday (tomorrow). Ive been trying to call her to find out if this is true but her phone is off, allegedly his daughter dropped it in a puddle and now she needs a new one.
This all seems really sketchy to me, I also called the hospital on Sunday, there was no patient by that name. I again asked him what hospital she was in and he said she had been transferred to PL on the weekend so I called their patient locator also no patient by that name. So now either she had just been discharged or was in hospital under a different name or perhaps wasnt in hospital at all. If it was all fake - why go to so much effort to tell the truth and without any financial gain (shes not getting paid right now).
After discovering I didnt have her SIN on file I called CRA and they told me if I cant find it to just fill out the paperwork as all 0's and then send it in with some evidence such as an email or something that Ive asked for it. I could compile a dossier on her now with previous employers numbers and names, and other info about her and her boyfriend. I would have to go to service canada to ask them what I should do and I havent taken that step yet. My wife thinks Im worrying too much and should just wait for her to return to work. The other thing is her boyfriend got a new cell number and its a Quebec City number. I have heard of people using sask numbers for cheaper plans but never a QC number.
