I have got my study visa on 20th Sep 2022 my course was till 31st Dec 2023 but my study permit was valid till 31st March 2023 .

I opted for Jan intake and have changed my course to 2 year program once I landed in Canada (Montreal) because I had to extend my visa so thought of extending at once.

I have gone through a link in Canada.ca where I am confused whether I can work more than 20 hours or not.

I am quoting the words and will share link at end.
