Hi everyone,
Now I’m an international students in Canada, my first day of class began on 5thSeptember, but I had attended to school for some orientation from 31st August to 1 September 2017. And I go to work at 2nd Sept and 3nd Sept (Saturday and Sunday) . Am I worked illegally on these 2 days. Is the government count the month of class begin or the exactly day of class begin. And what consequences that I have to suffer from this issues?
Please give me some advice, I’m so confused about it!!!!

Definitely illegal. Consequences : You maybe caught out during your PGWP application and refused. There have been some outright refusals in similar situations

Yes it could impact PGWP. You had to show you had the funds and they were accessible to get approved to study. No fund transfers are held for 1.5 months unless there large amounts and the transactions are suspicious. You could have returned home if you were to sick to start your studies. You wouldn’t have had access healthcare either if you weren’t studying except for Covid treatment.
