Hello,
I have a study permit that allows me to work in Canada but that restricts the fields in which I’m allowed to work (healthcare, childcare). Well I thought that the restriction about childcare and education only applied to teachers and caregivers, so I started working part-time as a tutor in a tutoring agency (not even a school). I worked there for 2 months before finding out I wasn’t allowed to do so and immediately quit my job. I even went to have a medical exam to get the condition removed. My problem is that in order to get this condition removed, I need to submit a new application in which I have to mention my work experience. Should I mention those 2 months? I’m afraid I could lose my status and get a 6-month ban because of this unauthorized work. If I don’t mention it and just put “student” as my occupation at the time, is there any way they could find out? Has anyone been in a similar situation, working in an unauthorized field? I’m really scared now, I don’t know what to do.
Thanks!
