It may happen once or twice that you worked more than 20 hours/ week but not everytime.
accident happens. don't worry.

22 yr dont work more than 20 hours as koolbanda said once or twice one or two hours is acceptable and sounds acceptable too but not more than that.I had 3-4 friends who went into trouble just because of this and damage is unrepairable bro. More than 22 or 23 hours will be silly mistake on your behalf. 22 j canada ne rule bnaya ta check ta krde hi hunde a india ta hai ni jithe ignore krduge and i dont think you even have idea how many files get refused just for silly mistakes like this. I kno tuhade friends kende hune krlo nothing happens but slah sare puthi dinde hunde, everyone lies i have seen alot of cases here in brampton ,apni university ya college ch puchlio how serious is it just the thing is it will not affect you until you apply for PR
Pehla PR lailo fer kam krlio dab k ;D
But dont do it now , check on this forum you will find many cases who worked more than 20 hours and went into trouble.
chances are almost sure they will get you during your PR application process for sure i have seen many.
Hope k 22 tusi 20 to thalle e rakho ge kam and cash te karlo kam ;) j free a ta.

all holidays depend on ur college/university's official breaks not ur breaks. so if a college/university in closed for summer etc u can start working full time. every college/university should have an academic calendar it will give everything. A simple google search will give u the info

Bro sounds like you never attended tax clinics or whatever it is in your university.
Your reading weeks and everything is in records of the service canada and your university tells servicecanada about the reading weeks and then they approve and only after that you are allowed to work full time during that time.So thats out of questioning that the canadian government will not know about your breaks and holidays everything is kept in records.
Attend any tax clinics and you will know about this and also T4 which is statement of remuneration and T4A i.e statement of other income.
My advice dont ever ever take even slightest of risk, after spending all the money ,staying away from parents, working shifts all for just getting PR and then throwing it away for sake of few dollars and going above time slotted and working more than allowed and clearly mentioned in your study permit,will be a very childish mistake you will regret whole your life.
So dont make it. Idk which people you are staying with who advice you these things lol but getting PR in canada is a big deal and not a joke and is not as easy as you think even though you are doing masters and can easily apply for it but trust me you will know when you will apply,every single detail is checked .
I went through all this too . ;)
