Please I need help with work permit

[Full stop]

Hello everyone,

I currently have a work permit in Canada and have already been working. Recently, my HR department informed me that my work permit has expired and that I need to renew it.
For context, I have already completed the court process and have been accepted as a Convention Refugee. However, I am having difficulty finding the correct link or website to apply for a work permit renewal.
Could someone please guide me to the right place or share the steps I should follow to renew my work permit?
Im in Ontario.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Thank you in advance for your help.

If your current work permit has expired, you need to see if it has expired within the past 90 days or longer than 90 days.
If it's within 90 days, you need to apply for the Restoration of Work Permit.
It's more than 90 days, then you need to apply for a new work permit.

The guide to both options is available here: https://www.fcjrefugeecentre.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Work-Permit-Presentation.pdf
You can apply through the GC Key account.

General steps are here (credits to @theclaimer ;
1. We go to the GCKey Portal
2. Go to the bottom page > Start an application > and click on "Apply to come to Canada"
3. In my case, no personal reference code, click on "visitor, study or work permit"
4. For questions: What would you like to do in Canada > Select Work > How long would you like to stay in Canada > Select Temporary less than 6 months, then answer all other questions
5. Not a US PR (most of us are not)
6. Find out if you are eligible to apply > Click on "Refugee Claimant" then Next button
7. Then select the situation that applies to you -- e.g. refugee claim in progress or accepted refugee or other situations
8. Then answer all other questions page by page
9. When asked if you have medical exam performed by IRCC authorized doctors in the past 12 months, click No, if you haven't had it (in my case I only did the medical exam paid by IRCC when making the refugee claim and is more than 12 months ago)
10. Then answer all other questions, and it will come to the page listing all your answers and then Next
11. You will see what documents you need to submit for a work permit extension: there's no medical exam required and no fee to be paid
