I have no problems with the qatar side of the employment equation, and thus no need to resort to the legal system here. This is purely a Canadian legal matter and as a tax paying citizen, I think I have a case to be addressed by the relevant legal authority in Canada. CNAQ cannot have it both ways: extract tax on behalf of CRA and then claim : "Oh, gee, we are in Qatar now - sorry your charter rights do not apply" They do apply. Every time tax is deducted from my salary.
