thank you for your reply.
so there's no way to work in Canada after 2nd degree, if one has already applied for PGWP?

No. You can only hold a PGWP once.

There is. An employer can get an approved LMIA so that you can apply for closed work permit.

I see, so after a person gets the 2nd degree, he/she should have a job offer from an employer in hand before applying for an LMIA?

Yes. Note that the employer is the one who applies for the LMIA.

okay, sorry but just one last doubt: are all companies welcome to apply for LMIA or are they just some specific ones?
Many companies are not willing to go through the process.
