Regarding International Student Work details

Hi there!

I have a small doubt. Currently, I am in Montreal and I am working for 20 hours a week on SIN. I have a vehicle and registered for UBER Eats. While registering for UBER Eats, they haven't asked for SIN number and only took copy of study permit. My question is, is it okay to do UBER Eats aside from part-time as I have lot of free time? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

For small money you might land yourself in bigger problem. Please don't work more than 20 hours per week. It's illegal per se.

No - not OK. It's illegal work and a violation of your study permit. You'll be putting your study permit and PGWP in jeopardy.

Thanks for the reply. But are our working hours traceable without SIN ? Like I know many students who are working both on sin(20hrs) and cash(20hrs).

Cash : No. Why take risk of losing your study permit and pgwp

Hello guys,

I am currently on a study permit (my program starts in september 2020 and I am in Canada currently). I know I cant wowrk legally in Canada till I start studies, but I have an international art contest I am thinking of participating in. The winner will also win a prize money. My question is: is this also considered as working in Canada? Take note that the company is in USA and though the video will be shot here in Canada, its still not a Canadian company.

Also, I am in the process of applying for my PR (under CEC) as my previous PR application got rejected in December 2019 and I was then out of status as my work permit also expired, so I had to restore status quickly as a student. Will participating in this contest hurt my chances of getting my PR?

TIA
