It doesn't show the further options as required and may lead to payment. (No fees for refugee claimants and protected persons)

You mentioned passport copy, but passport gets siezed by CBSA when you apply for refugee,. I think you have to use the refugee claimant document to apply for work permit extension or get RTD

Yes, the passport gets seized by CBSA when you apply for refugee, but they provide a photocopy of that passport. However, you need to upload a copy of your refugee claimant document, too. It's all about scanned copies.

Yes they do give you scanned copies but if they are expired passports then you got no option but to use the claimant document or apply for RTD but the claimant document is enough i think

Hello, it asked about a few documents, in the document about imm5710e, it mentioned our current employer for myself and my family. However, my family is not employed, and only I am employed. How will I be able to fill that part in?
It also asks if we have done our medical exam in the last 12 months, what would I answer?

Your prompt reply will be appreciated, thank you.

In which section they asked for "family "?


Medical: If you have done any medical then 'yes'. If not, then 'no'.

Can someone help plz? I have found to be a protected person but my work permit is expired ?
Do I need to apply for work permit again or should I apply for PR only?

Both, just because you are protected person doesnt mean you can work without work permit. So you need to apply for work permit and PR too.
