Working around 22-24 hrs/week as full time international student

[NamNg]

I arrived in Canada in late August 2017, did not work until Mar 15th 2018.

The job is part-time and the average work hour/week is 22-24.

My question is that when applying for PGWP will my work hours get evened out and whether I will get into trouble or not?!

Thanks everyone.

How does this fit in with the limitation of 20 hours per week during study periods? This is NOT an average but a maximum.

It won't change history but it will help you to stay legal from now on.

Complelety wrong. Immigration law very clearly states a maximum of 20 hours/week. Anything above that is illegal. There is no averaging of hours.

CIC is very strict in regards to part time hours for international students. If an international student has been working over more than 20 hours per week regardless how long they have been working, they will for sure find out from CRA which all employers report employee incomes too or from any source, that international student can be deported or once they graduate and file for a PGWP, they can be refused and be deported then as well.

Have you got the PGWP yet? Is there any problem to you?
