Do you know how Canadian tax authorities determine the difference between an employee and an independent contractor?

This document acknowledges that, upon receipt and clearance of the final payment, all of the contractor’s lien rights and claims related to the labor, materials, or equipment supplied for the property's improvements are relinquished.

Effectiveness of the Waiver
