Hi Everyone,

So I am in a complicated situation. I mistakenly worked for 22.5 hours for a month in my part-time job while on Student Permit. I declared this on my PGWP application. Application submitted to IRCC on 5th May with all required documents and Letter of Explanation on working for more than 20 hours per week unknowingly. Now, that I have violated the terms, albeit minor, I cannot work Full Time/Part-time until I received my decision on PGWP. My question is what should be my strategy now, in case I receive a refusal. Shall, I look for other options and have a back up plan during this processing period of 143 days.

Please let me know.

Hi Olive, I have a very similar case, and Applied on May 1st. I was too worried, however, a couple of friends told me it’s okay if you slightly exceeded the 20 hours limit for few weeks. I am not sure if that’s true or not.. just still waiting.
Anything from your end?
