It is recommended to apply at least 30 days before your study permit is expiring. Someone might have told you to apply 30 days before because validity of your PGWP would be more. Suppose you applied on 10th of May, and your PGWP was issued on 25th of may. Then they will give PGWP of 1 year or 3 years(depends on length of your program) starting on May 25th. and if will apply 30 days before then you will get some extra days on your PGWP.

1. You have to apply for your PGWP within 90 days of your graduation:http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/work-postgrad-who.asp

You must apply for a work permit within 90 days of receiving written confirmation (for example, a transcript or an official letter) from your institution indicating that you have met the requirements for completing your academic program.

Why ignore lol. It is true. I said the same thing. She will get work permit for extra days if she will apply late.

"You must apply for a work permit within 90 days of receiving written confirmation". It doesn't say one can't apply if there are 60 days or 50 days or 30 days left. So, you can apply anytime within that 90 days time frame. However, you should apply as soon as you get your final transcript to be on the safer side in case anything goes wrong with the application.
