20 hrs/wk limit

[8792375127]

Is understating hours worked on the paycheck after negotiating with the employer a common practice among intl students? As an example, the employer can state the number of hours as 20 instead of 40 on the paycheck and double the hourly rate, effectively working around the 20 hrs/wk limit.

What are the risks involved and how are such cases verified in the review process when applying for a PGWP?

It is not common among legit students.

If you find an employer who isn't honest maybe you could negotiate something. If you are caught you can be reported to IRCC, have your study permit canceled, get kicked out of school and sent home. And forget about even thinking of getting a PGWP or a possible PR in the future.

Probably not a wise thing to do.
