If, in a taxation year, an individual is absent from an employment the individual holds with an eligible employer and, were it not for that absence, would be a foreign professor for the part of the year that is included in the individual’s period of absence, the Minister may, for the purposes of this Title, consider the remuneration paid by the eligible employer to the individual for that part of the year to be included in the individual’s eligible income for the year in relation to the employment, that the eligible employer certifies in prescribed manner, if the Minister is of the opinion that the individual is temporarily absent from the employment for reasons the Minister considers reasonable.
The individual is deemed to be a foreign professor for the part of the year in respect of which the Minister has exercised discretion in the individual’s favour in accordance with the first paragraph.
