No need for extension. You can apply under CEC class, within one year from the date you are out of canada.

As a temporary foreign worker, you must have two years of full-time (or equivalent) work experience in Canada. Your work experience must be gained within three years of applying.

Full-time work experience means working at least 37.5 paid hours per week.

If you want to keep working in Canada after you apply for PR through CEC, you do need to apply to renew your work permit.  You may need an LMO if your job requires it as CEC does not extend the length of time you can work in Canada.
