All this information is available on the CIC website, no need to re-write it.

CEC program:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/cec/index.asp

PNP-Ontario:

http://www.ontarioimmigration.ca/en/pnp/index.htm

Short answer: CEC requires 1 year of work experience after graduation, but once you complete the requirement, you don't need to be employed or remain in Canada.

PNP-ON does not require a job after graduation, but does require you to remain in Ontario. That's tough for most to do without a job...

You have to find a job under O,A or B and work at least one year. Then you might be qualified to apply for CEC or PNP. Refer to National Occupational Code to see if you job meets CIC requirements. Google working in Canada

As long as you finish your post-secondary school, you can apply for your work permit prior to your study permit expires, that's guaranteed.
