Hi there, no T4A slip was not issued for "Payment in Lieu of notice" instead, because this payment is considered income from employment for payroll purpose, therefore is included in your earnings on your T4 slip. Now, if your job gave you the cash and then you made the deposit, then it is not a transfer, it is just a contribution. Did your job put the money in your RRSP? Had you provide them with your RRSP banking information, then this would be a transfer.
You can very well, claim the RRSP contribution as a regular contribution without specifying that it is a transfer.
