Hi there i took unscheduled break from my course due to some emergency during that i took advice from my college’s international student center they told me that you can work full time during this leave and now i found a post of cic which says that you cant work on campus or off campus while you are on leave of absence. So am i gonna any trouble in future while applying for work permit ????? If yes any suggestions?
 
Taking the leave alone might disqualify you from PGWP since you can only take scheduled breaks, the work is another issue as well.

You worked illegally, which you have to declare, and took an unscheduled break. You have little chance of PGWP approval.
 
Can someone advise me here?
I started my master program in Fall 2021 and took a one leave of absence for winter 2022 semester. The date range that is mentioned on LOA approval letter is 1 Jan to 31 April. I checked University Calendar and found that lecture begins on 6th Jan for Winter 2022 semester and ends on April 15 so I worked few hours on 3rd Jan and some hours on 29th April. Now that I am approaching graduation, I am worried that it might impact my eligibility for PGWP as it falls under "unauthorized worK". Can someone share their opinion on it. I will highly appreciate it.
