Guys.. I am an international student from India. I started my studies with 1 year programme at douglas starting jan 2017 but then sudden culture shock and weather changes made my health worse and my grades went terribly down. During this time, i came across an agent who advised me to take a two year course at langara (also it is near my home) which i applied for then upcoming summer off but eventually seats got filled and i was given a seat for the fall 2017 intake. At douglas i attended classes but i didnt appear fors the finals as none of the courses were matching to be transferred and i notified the college that i ll be transferring to langara. After april i worked full time infact i used to work a lot as i knew that i had wasted a sum of money and i need to pay tuition fees for the upcoming semesters at langara also and during this time i called douglas asking about my status to which they i am still registerd as a full time student with them but as i ve not opted any courses it ll termed as a sem off. Hearing this I continued working and on this very day i had my orientation at langara during which they told that if i want to apply for pgwp i need to study continously without any semester off. Have i landed mysef in some sort of trouble?

Technically you violated the terms of your study permit and worked illegally. You shouldn't have worked in the summer. Since this was a semester off rather than a scheduled break - you weren't authorized to work. You also should have completed your exams and courses at Douglas even if you weren't going to be able to transfer your courses. These courses will end up showing either as incomplete or failed which isn't helpful if you need to apply for a study permit extension at any point.
Nothing you can do now - what's done is done. It's quite possible this won't end up impacting your ability to apply for a PGWP.
You need to spend time familiarizing yourself with the study permit rules. You are responsible for understanding them and following them. If you fail to do so, CIC will hold you responsible alone.

You can only work 20 hours until the end of the semester. After you finish school and your exams you can work full-time while you apply for PGWP and until wait to receive PGWP.
