Hello everyone - looking for guidance on extending work permit ONLINE

I am a refugee/protected person and I am currently on a work permit that will expire in a few months. I have an online account with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada and I would like to submit the application to renew my work permit online. However, I don't see an option to upload my completed documents - does anyone know how to do this? I am wondering if the system will not give me the option to apply online because I haven't yet provided biometrics?

Thank you very much

It is a bit tricky and took me a month to find an answer. So, when you answer the quiz questions, pick less than 6 months and then keep going with the rest of the quiz questions. You will sign in to your account and you will find the online link there. Upload the completed form and the rest supported docs.

As far as I remember, once you log in into your account in CIC website in a PC or laptop , they have three clickable options in the lower page , pick the left one and it should take you step by step answering some questions

I received such a letter. It's a temporary extension. You can not renew your SIN without the new WP original paper. Your present SIN is valid till September. (I went to Service Canada with the temp one and they said so) I believe, before September you'll receive your new WP.
