A member forgot to mention their part-time Uber Eats driving job on a study permit extension application, and asked whether they needed to send a webform to inform IRCC.
What the thread clarified:- The main thing that matters is whether you stayed within the allowed part-time work hours (20 hours per week) — not whether you specifically listed every part-time gig by name. If you were compliant with the hour limit, the omission of a specific job title is less of a concern.
- Uber Eats tracks your driving activity, which can serve as a record of hours worked, similar to how a traditional employer's clock-in/clock-out system would document hours for verification purposes if ever needed.
- Being transparent is still generally recommended as the safer approach — even if the specific omission isn't necessarily a major issue, proactively disclosing accurate information tends to be viewed as the better practice overall.
The practical takeaway: forgetting to list a specific part-time job like Uber Eats on your study permit extension is less critical than whether you stayed within the 20-hour weekly work limit — the app's driving records can document your hours if ever needed, but being transparent and disclosing accurately is still the recommended approach.
