Hi.

I'm currently holding post-graduation work permit after the post-secondary graduation.

And I'm also planning to apply for study permit to extend my post-secondary studies.

Is it possible to have both study permit and work permit? (Not like off-campus, I want to work full-time while studying)

I heard someone saying that I am allowed to hold both study and work permit if the field that I work is related to the study I am planning to enroll.

(Eg. If I am bookkeeper or accountant and holding work permit, I can obtain study permit and study in accounting related post-secondary programs?)

If anyone has any idea about this, please help......

No - you can't have both at the same time. It's either one or the other.

If you apply for a study visa, it cancels the work permit.
