I also found out about this rule recently while I was preparing to apply for PR. I was panicking, to say the least. I submitted a letter declaring this unauthorized work and apologizing for the mistake. My application is currently in progress so I can't really tell you the outcome yet.....but don't lose hope! Make sure you start counting your work experience only from the day you applied for your PGWP (do NOT include your work experience before Feb 07 when calculating your work experience for EE) and I highly recommend declaring your unauthorized work when you submit your PR application. Best of luck!!!Yep. One of my friends is also in the same boat. I can imagine some of us make this mistake. Do let me know what happens with your case. I wish you good luck!
