I don't think you can work now that your PGWP is refused. It doesn't matter if your SIN is still valid. Actually, you shouldn't have worked full time after you finished school before you got your PGWP. That means you were working illegally. Did they tell you why they refused your PGWP?

You are not eligible to extend your PGWP until you have an ITA and have applied for PR. Having submitted a profile doesn't make you eligible for a BOWP. You need for a draw to happen and get ITA. So you can apply for BOWP once you have applied for PR, and are within 4 months of expiry.

Your work experience is authorized from the date you submitted your PGWP application. So as long as you applied for the PGWP before you started working, those 6 weeks will count. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1181&top=15...

No. The PGWP can't be approved until you have valid status.

Apply for your PGWP before your study permit expires. If you do this you will be under implied status and can work. If you let it expire or do not apply for your PGWP, you have to stop working.
