How does CIC or CBSA find out if you have a off-campus work permit with 20 hrs restriction,but you are working 40 hrs instead?..1 of my friend is working for 40 hrs throughout the year with his off campus work permit for 3 yrs now and no 1 has ever noticed it.Is he in danger to get caught?But if he is,how?..

Yes, there's always a risk of getting caught even though it's a common practice in places like Canada, US, UK and Australia. The reason why your friend has not been caught is most probably because he gets the wages for extra 20 hours that he works by cash rather than cheque or transfer. And the employer does not show a record of him of working more than 20 hours.
But, there's always a risk of getting caught because if someone finds out and they complain to CBSA, there could be a raid or an inspection at the work premises, not only the person will be deported to home country but the employer could be jailed or fined too.

well ,CRA (canada revenue agency) has record of all the working hours coz u r being deducted taxes .and the employers are supposed to sent service canada with all the working hours details,like when i quit my last job i received the notice from my employer that we share this with service canada.
(list of working hours with date) but i worked 20hr and less sometimes.
most of the people get lucky and they are not noticed,coz CIC would need some good funds to make use of the resources and be really strict and catch students.i have not heard a lot of scary stories like this.but one should be careful as you may be the "one" bad guy out of thousand ,who is doing this.
there is a loop hole in the system work 20 hrs on campus and 20 hrs off campus ,you are good and its legal
