Hello, i am really confused about this, so for this year and as an international student the government gave us the possibility to work more than 20 hours until 31 december 2023 . During this period i was working full time and gathered 40 hr vacation. Starting from january i should switch to work part time, which means my pay will be cut in half which will not be enough for me. So i thought about the idea of taking my vacation during january, and to get paid full time, and at the same time and technically i am not working more than legal hours. Is this legal to do, am i missing something? From where i can get the exact information please?

31 december 2023 was history and this year is 2024. Few months later will be 2025.

I just wanted to know , if my vaccation hours will be counted as worked by ircc. For instance if I actually worked 20 hrs per week and take 20 hrs as vaccation in the same week, will it be a violation?

Is the vacation hours paid by your employer?
