I just tell them I was overpaid, and I would like to give back the money, that’s it, cause it is a big company, so they have their own process of it. They just need to fix it in their system, and do some little extra work, like give me a new pay stub something . And honestly, CIC has no access to CRA, only if when they feel something suspicious, they would contact CRA to verify it, don’t be too stressed out. That’s just couple of hours, it won’t affect you, cause I was like that, but I called 3 different immigration lawyers, I got the same answer, CIC doesn’t have access to your tax information. Unless they feel something suspicious, they will contact CRA. But I was still worried, so I just said I was overpaid, and gave back the money. But technically, you shouldn’t have any problems
PGWP rejection because of 20+ hours of work

- Start date
basically the company uses another platform to pay its employees..not its own. I have asked the manager and i can sense that all of the seniors are dragging this as none of them wants to rectify it... now I'M stuck.
i also want to mention that when you will apply for PR they will ask you for the paystub and if your paystub has extra hours, it will be a problem and that's why people actually make mistakes like what we did and delivery an explanation on why there are extra hours; and if you do that you will be at risk to either being refused or accepted.
It is legal, you can actually check the law, there are details in it for overpaid stuff, they have the rights to fix it. And when you are applying for PR, unless you are using your current job, or how can they notice any extra hours?
Hello guys, I just want to know if it's possible to be doing delivery under one's spouse's information that has Open Work permit. I found it difficult to get a part time job where I am; most employers I approached only want a full time dedicated person. So, I'm trying to do doordash, Ubereats, etc using the profile of my spouse. The reason is I might work over 20 hours if I use mine, which I don't like. However, I feel like using my spouse's profile might be a good covering in case I went over 20hours in any week. My concern again is my spouse is working full time already; hope that won't raise an eye brow that how was my spouse able to work 60-70hrs in a week? Your opinion on this is highly sought. Thanks
I guess the original poster of this thread has not come back to update the house about the outcome of his/her experience.
they notice extra hours from the paystub of past work history you had.
I have worked these two hours, and worked couple of minutes that's why they said we can't fix these as you need to be paid for it.
You just need to claim you got paid for extra hours, and it happened, it’s not rare, one of my paystubs it showed I worked 45 hours for 2 weeks, but I only worked 39.5 hours, I didn’t break any laws, but I was overpaid, which made me seem break laws. They need to fix it, or they are gonna be faced with problems too for letting international students working overtime. But it is a hassle for them, they need to fix your pay stub and report to CRA and CRA needs to fix your taxes for this year, they just don’t wanna do it
And even if you are gonna use your current job for immigration, pay stubs are not mandatory for it, you could use your T4 and NOA, or your work contract. You can check CIC website. Don’t overthink, you are not gonna get punished for working extra 2 hours.
You're asking about violating the terms of your visa and committing fraud.
Don't expect to get any help here if you're asking about doing things that are illegal.
Be calming down, dude. No one is committing any fraud here! The truth is a person with Work Permit has unrestricted hours to work. If such a person gets more than one jobs and is being assisted , if you call it a fraud, especially when it involves a spousal thing, then, it's up to you. We have a joint account in this case. Whether the work is done by the spouse or me, the money still gets deposited in the same account! Please, stay off my mention.
It is fraud. You are working under another person’s identity, work permit and SIN number to go over the 20 hours. Has nothing to do with bank account.
It IS fraud. Not my definition. CRA & IRCC's definition. It is not up to you to do whatever you want just because it's between your spouse and you. That's not how these laws work.
You'll be using your spouse's SIN to work (that's CRA / tax fraud) and doing so is working illegally which is a violation of the terms of your study permit (IRCC fraud).
CRA specifically tells people to call their Anti-Fraud Centre if they know someone is using someone else's SIN. It's illegal.
Anyway - your call if you want to engage in illegal activities and potentially jeopardize your family's status in Canada.
Back and forth for telling you that you are committing tax and IRCC fraud. Good luck.
