Hi,
I came as an International Student and studied for 2years and got 3years work permit(WP). My work permit is about to expire and I will complete my 2years work experience shortly after my WP expires, that will give me a boost in my express entry points. I have that as an option but I wanted to find out if there's other options to either boost my points or remain in Canada.

Can I become a student again and then get extra points for study in Canada?

Your suggestions/help is very much appreciated. Thank you.

You can become a student again - however you won't qualify for another PGWP. You can only qualify for a PGWP once in a lifetime.

If you want to continue working and remain in Canada, you'd need to find an employer willing to give you a job offer and who can obtain an approved LMIA.

If your 2 years experience will be met after your work permit expires, then you don't have that as an option because you don't qualify for a work permit extension.
