Potential employer asking for ROE

You mentioned you had neither stubs nor ROE, so I assume maybe "no", but worth asking about since you didn't mention it. You could check with that prior company if in fact they do have that form and it just never was sent to you. If there's no documentation at all I imagine you'd have to explain to your prospective employer that the job was pretty casual and a student job so there's no paperwork or get the former company in the absence of official forms to draft a statement saying you were employed between X dates and earned X amount, etc. Some people leave these small part-time or summer jobs out of their background entirely because they're often for short durations or not in the field they want to get into, but you'd need to check whether your prospective employer wants every last job (including these ones) or perhaps just the more "major" ones that align with why you might be getting hired for them (i.e. full-time jobs in the same industry).

Yes, that's the case. This has dragged out for more than a week now and i don't see the light at end of tunnel. In these times really need to get the job but not sure how to satisfy this requirement as it's not in my hands to get these docs anymore.

Maybe provide a PDF of the T4 slip and NOA?

The business is closed now, i tracked down the owner and he was nice enough to write an employment letter detailing the duration and pay etc but the new employer is looking for t4 / Roe etc

Yes it was one of those student jobs as you said.
