I am having a problem. I was accidentally working 26 hours as Doordash ( like SkipTheDishe) for only 1 week. On 13rd of April to 19th of April, a week before my summer break and that week is also a week before a new rule is enacted. Im so stressful right now, any advice? Thanks,
Being honest about your mistake and don’t do it again. Canada rewards honestly unless it is a serious oversight or something criminal.

Jan to Mar is 0 hours, but Can I work more than 40hours during summer
yes
Can I work as many hours as I want if I’m eligible to work off-campus?
No. If you’re eligible to work off-campus, you can work up to 20 hours per week while classes are in session. During scheduled breaks, like the summer or winter holidays and spring break, you’re allowed to work more than 20 hours.
You can only start working in Canada when you start your study program. You can’t work before your studies begin. Find out more about who can work off-campus, including part-time students and students on authorized leave.
If you’ve completed your study program, you may be able to work full-time.

What do you think about my 26hrs week? It was only one week. Do you think the gov would chase me down for that?
for just one week, nothing, because you have not worked all year long

Hello all,

Please I need advice here. I am an International student and currently on a scheduled break, which means I can work full-time till class resumes. We are to resume on January 7th. My questions: can I still work full-time from today (January 2nd) up to Wednesday, January 6th? Will the hours I work after January 6th still count for more than 20 hours since its still the same week?

please help!

TIA :)

Hi!
As an international student can I work full time during summer if I'm not taking summer classes?
