Bridge extension - "intended study"?

Hey guys!
I'm graduating in June, but my visa expires in May so I am applying for a bridge extension. To do that, I have to fill out an online form called "application to change conditions, extend my stay or remain in Canada as a student." However, there is a section that has to be filled out, which is called "intended study in Canada." It asks me for the duration of my expected study, and this is confusing, since my study isn't really "expected" - I started my education in 2010 and am graduating this year! But It won't allow me to enter 2010 as the year in which I started my studies - the date must be greater than, or equal to today's date. But if I do that, the date won't be accurate! So what am I supposed to do at this section?
Thanks!

I think you should put the date at which you're expecting to graduate.

Yeah, that makes sense, but there's a "from" date as well which is my main concern :/ So I'm not sure if I should put May 15th as the "from date" (the date that my current study permit expires) and as for the "to" date write June 10th, which is when I'm graduating. But it seems a little weird since I won't "start" my studies on May 15th, I started in September 2010 - but like I said, it won't allow me to enter that date as the date I started my studies :(

Try to look into the guide "Guide 5552 - Applying to Change Conditions or Extend Your Stay in Canada - Student"

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5552ETOC.asp#5552E5

This guide gives clear instructions on how to complete the form, if you can't figure it out, the best thing to do would be calling CIC.
