You can report suspected immigration fraud to Canadian Border Services Agency via their Border Watch hotline (1-888-502-9060). Information is on the web site. It is confidential and they provide rewards.
Working for cash isn't illegal. It is contracting work, provided they are claiming the income as self-employment income on their taxes and they otherwise fall under a non-employee classification -- i.e. bills his client, works under a contract, has multiple clients, does not work there exclusively, etc. Even if he did... CRA will only ask him to be put on salary. It isn't illegal -- baring not paying taxes.
More importantly, if he is applying for permanent residency, he must be a full-time employee in a type 0, A, or B profession. Citizenship and Immigration Canada will be looking at his income tax returns and investigating his employment if he is applying under the Canadian experience class. CIC will never consider him a manager if they don't see proof of employment including his income tax returns, T4s, and pay cheques for at least 12 months.
You can let CBSA know, but there isn't much they need to do other than ask CIC to take a more detailed look at his income tax returns and proof of employment. If he didn't file income taxes then there is no way he could prove that he was employed for a year and CIC would quickly reject his PR claim anyway.
You can also contact Canada Revenue Agency and report suspected income tax evasion by both him and the company.

A person who applies for a student visa may also apply for a student work visa which allows them to work as long as they are still a full time student.
This person may be doing nothing illegal. Most schools are closed now so full time work is permissible. If you are sure this person is not going to school full time during the school year, then Canadian Border Services would probably investigate.

If he's here on a study visa, he is allowed to work for a certain number of hours.
