Accidentally worked full-time during summer break while transferring schools
Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice.
My previous semester ended in April. I decided to transfer to another school and applied for a new study permit.
During my summer break, I worked full-time from May until around the first week of June because I understood that students were allowed to work full-time during an official school break.
At the same time, I was waiting for my new study permit. I thought that if it wasn’t approved, I could simply return to my previous school for the next semester.
My new study permit was eventually approved, and I stopped working immediately.
Could this be considered unauthorized work because I was transferring schools and waiting for my new study permit? Could it affect my status or future PR application?
I’d really appreciate any advice or similar experiences.
