You're working illegally. You need to reduce your hours and make sure you don't go above 20 hours in any given week.

We've seen CIC be a lot less forgiving lately with illegal work when issuing PGWPs. Follow the rules and don't break the law if you want to avoid problems later.

Of course you aren't safe. As said above, you are working illegally.
