I renewed my WP online and kept those options blank.

In case you want to try to apply online:


Open an account in GCkey:

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/account.html

Also, you can follow this thread:
https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/renewal-work-permit.826019/

In the GCKey account click how you want to come to Canada. On the next page, click for work, Less than 6 months, and then you'll find Refugee after that follow the steps. There are a lot of questions about being eligible for the work permit. Answer all the questions (All are yes/No). Finally, you need to upload your previous work permit copy, passport copy, and form imm5710e. It's downloadable and fillable. Complete and upload the form. Then submit.

One more thing, After you get your work permit, remember to renew your SIN.
You can apply here online:
