Post Graduate Work Permit and Study Permit

Hi there. Could you please help me my situation.

I just completed 2 years college (Aircraft Maintenance Engineer diploma) on June 14 2017.
Now, I have a study permit that will expire on August 31 2017. I am planning to apply for PGWP, but I am also thinking of going to different school(flight school) in the beginning of July, and taking a flight instructor course. The course takes between 1.5 - 2 months and full time.

Questions are

1, I heard that PGWP usually has a stated condition that you're not authorized to study. So that means if I pply for PGWP , I am not allowed to go to school even if my study permit is valid until August 31 ? Let's say, I apply for PGWP today and go to flight school until August31, is it ok? or not?

2, Can I apply for PGWP and extend my study permit( maybe 2 more months) at the same time? Just in case if my course takes longer than expected,
For example, I apply PGWP today and also extend my study permit today too.

3,I heard if you change school, 3years PGWP is cancelled. So that means if i went to flight school, I am not eligible for 3 year PGWP anymore . Is that trueor not?


I went to 2 years college and I don't want to miss the chance of 3 years PGWP. But also, I really want to be a flight instructor too. In order to become a flight instructor I have to go to school....
To be honest, my course is depends on whether, availability of aircraft,teacher etc...I think No.2 would be the best choice.....
But I really don't know what should I do. Please help me.
Thank you so much for your help. have a good day!
