Hi all,
I'm enrolled in a one year course in a post-secondary institution but after a week of college I decided to extend and do my diploma in 2 years. (I will have to ask for a extension in my student visa for that.)
So the first year I would be taking only 6 credits per semester(non full time student) and the second year 9 credits (being a full time student).
I already have a SIN number. Can I work in this first year, not being a full time student during this period?
And if I do so what are the implications, how can the governement discover that I worked while I wasn't a full time student? I already have a SIN number.


Thank you for any help

No - you can't legally work.

Note that you won't qualify for a PGWP if you are a part time student for a full year.
