Hi everyone, I just found out that I worked part time while being a part time student. I was enrolled in 17 credit hours and apparently my college considers 18 credit hours to be full time. Hence I was not suppose to work while being part time student but as i did not know till the end of the term, so i did. Does anyone have been in the same situation or knows what will happen?
Accidentally worked while being a part time student.

Because you can only be part time for your last semester. That is a PGWP rule. You are not eligible for PGWP because you were part-time, and you worked in violation of your study permit. So you have two issues.
From IRCC,
You meet the general eligibility requirement to apply for a PGWP if
- you completed a study program at a designated learning institution
- you maintained full-timestatus as a student in Canada during each semester of your study program
- There are some exceptions to this requirement, including
- studying part-time during your final semester

agree. OP has a bigger problem being part time than working during part time study.
