Paid helping gig when not allowed to work.

[studentapplyins00on]

My study permit doesn’t allow me to work off campus, but a friend of mine casually shovels snow at his friends’ houses as a side gig and asked if I could help him. He offered to pay me $10 per hour for the few hours 3-4 I’d be helping. It’s a one time thing. Would that be illegal?

Yes.
