I suggest to study 1 more year of studies to be eligible for the 3 year pgwp so that you get some breathing space. (1+1 year of studies is eligible for 3years pgwp).

What GTO911 said is bluntly true. A 1 year work permit means you need to be working right after completing your studies while waiting for your pgwp. (maybe around 2-3 months breathing gap between your graduation and start of pgwp).

After 1 year, you would either need an extension or rather a new work permit which is LMIA approved, or if your express entry score is high enough and you get an ITA, then can you apply for a bridging work permit.

Another option is to change your status to a visitor and wait for ITA and PR. Btw TRV is a visa that allows you to enter Canada. getting a trv would not permit you to stay in Canada and you still need to leave after your pgwp expires

Last option is to go home and wait for ITA and PR.
