I worked 30hrs this week for the first time and usually i just work only 20-22hrs every week. It was my big mistake as i needed some extra money to pay my tuition fees and i accept my mistake :(
Will i face any problem during application of pgwp because i can only work upto 20hrs!

I believe there is an exception for international students to work more than 20 hours if you received approval before a specific date. Look into it.

I can’t tell you exactly about your future pgwp. However plenty of students do not honor the 20 hour limit and end up with pgwp. One occurrence probably won’t affect you just make sure it’s a one time thing and set limits with whoever schedules your shifts at the workplace

This is somewhat dangerous comment. Just because some students were able to doesn't mean everybody can. What if, by a stoke of luck, a spot audit was done and your application was the unlucky one to be selected for a thorough review?

Best to follow the rules no matter what. Just my opinion. You are still free to do as you wish.

Yes I'm currently enrolled for summer semester. My course is fast track
You may be able to get PGWP. Suggest to keep track of your time moving forward. You don't want to risk that chance of getting a PGWP just because of technicality.

I completely agree with you on this. Better not risk it
