PGWP: Unauthorized work before classes

[Leopatril]

Hi,
I came to Canada on the 11th of August 2022, and unknowingly, I started working on the 18th. I worked almost 7 shifts before I became a full-time student.

I found out recently that I had worked unauthorized due to my lack of knowledge. I still have one more year to complete, and the thought of having chances of getting my PGWP refused is ruining my peace.

Someone, please share their experience if you have been through such a situation. Thank you!

I contacted an immigration consultant at my University. They said as 6 months have passed from ceasing unauthorized work, my PGWP will likely not get refused if I declare my unauthorized work honestly.

Someone, please share their experience. I need some peace.

Honestly, no one can tell you for certain what will happen. All you can do is be honest when you apply like your advisor said.
