because u pay tax,, if u work in Canada u will receive ur pay after tax deduction,,, and at many places it goes directly to ur account,, so the amount of tax u pay will indicate the number of hours,,, so don't do it,, why risk only for 4 hours...

i am not sure if there is a way for them to know right now but why take a risk just for a few hundred dollars ......during ur PR application if u submit tax returns or pay slips u could get caught....again I am not sure if CIC has a mechanism to check violators. Personally i wouldnt take the risk .
 
Oh man , i finally got a job and here comes another problem.
 
Yes - very easy to find out as your employer submits all payroll information to revenue Canada.

If you want a future in Canada, follow the rules.
 
Sometimes, if a person, working together with you or your landlord, reports you to the government/revenue agency, you will be caught. I have seen several cases like that. Once caught, the student will be deported if he/she doesn't comply to the rule.
Don't risk your chance if you want to apply for permanent residence.

Its tough to catch if working in hand to cash jobs , but many a times others out of jealousy report to the authorities and people get caught.
 
This aint cash job. Anyway, i will just search for more jobs.
 
For the last week I work for 53 hr within two weeks will it be a problem before that I work only for 30 hr biweekly

Yes it could be a problem if discovered you could lose your status and get deported . Stick to 20 hours/ week.
