you don't have to apply for restoration kitz as you have a pending application in which we are in the so called "implied status"...all you need to do if you want to renew..is a new contract and a letter from your employer stating that they are renewing you, that's what cic have told me the last time i inquired regarding renewal of work permit..in which in my case, i decided to just wait instead and so now i have no healthcare and my sin had expire...so frustrating....goodluck and hope i was able to help you..keep me posted as to how long is the renewal processing take time..
