You can apply for another study permit assuming you're a genuine student. Be prepared to go through the same process as before in terms of showing proof of funds and proving your intentions are not to overstay or work illegally. Given your history, you may face some additional scrutiny in this regard, as your PGWP refusal could be seen as an indicator your plan is to try and work rather than study. Make sure it's clear how studying more will help your job prospects back in your home country.

If your goal is a PGWP, ensure you're full-time in every semester except your last one.

Where do you want to come to Canada ?
Getting a visitor visa will be easier for you than getting another study permit since you recently got your pgwp rejected

if he/she wants to stay longterm visitor visa doesn’t help.

Hi Canadian King
I can't study on visitor visa right?

Of course not, except if the course is shorter than six months in length.

Of course not, except if the course is shorter than six months in length.

The whole program needs to be shorter than 6 months not just the course.

The whole program needs to be shorter than 6 months not just the course.

"Course" and "program" are synonymous in many cases.

"Course" and "program" are synonymous in many cases.

It's actually an important distinction.

People sometimes make the mistake of thinking they can come to Canada without a study permit and take a course that is six months or less where that course is part of a longer program they plan to complete. They make the mistake of thinking they can complete the first course of the program without a study permit and only need to get a study permit once they move on with the rest of their studies.

Long story short, if the total duration of studies in Canada is greater than six months, a study permit is required to start studying eve if the first course in the program of study is less than six months.
