After completion of my 1 year Post graduation, I plan to apply for a 1 year work permit. As the prerequisite of getting canada PR is to have at least one year of work experience in canada when is the soonest I apply for PR? Or do i have to wait till I complete one year work?
post receiving my 1year work permit, when can I apply for PR

This is only a prerequisite for the CEC immigration program. The soonest you can apply is when you have one full year of work experience in a skilled profession (i.e. NOC A, B or 0). Note that you cannot count work experience you gained while studying. Also, even if you qualify to apply, this doesn't guarantee you will be selected out of the pool of applicants.
There are other Canadian immigration programs that requires you to have at least a year of work experience, but this work experience doesn't have to be from Canada (e.g. FSW/Express Entry).
Note that if your objective is to get PR, you should take a 2 year program so that you qualify for a 3 year PGWP. The chances of getting PR are low with just a 1 year PGWP.

In this case, is it possible that before the expiry of my one year work permit, I apply for another 1 year course? Will this be counted as two courses?
My intention of taking a one year work permit post completion of my course is to earn money and sponsor my own second course..
