Worked more than 20 hours off campus - will PR be affected?

Hi,
I did my master before they lifted the 20-hour-off-campus limit. As a master student, I was not allowed to work over 20 hours at any point (always full time). I accidentally worked more than 20 hours/ week in 3 months. It was on-the-table and it was recorded in pay slip and T4.

I did get my PGWP though. Now I’m applying for PR. Would that working history affect my case? I didn’t want to fall into the misrepresentation mistake so I listed it in my application. I obviously didn’t claim point from the job so no pay slip or T4 was included. I just didn’t say if it was a full-time or part-time (neither of the other jobs has it, for consistency’s sake).

Would this mistake affect my PR application? What can I do if my PR got rejected?

My question is that, did you work while awaiting for a decision regarding your PGWP in applied status. I am in similar situation right now. I worked for 21 hours instead of 20 hours for only one week during my studies. Does this considered as illegal work I am planning to explain it in an loe about the situation. What will be your suggestion?

What happened to you PR application. Did everything thing went well
