Hello All,

I need help please. I applied for work permit extension using the "applying from Outside canada" form but I am inside canada (I did so because of the new rule off not applying for work permit from inside Canada). The address I provided in the application is my Canadian address. I received a passport request but I'm not sure where I should send the passport. Any idea will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
 
You misinterpreted the changes in rules and you can no longer apply for a WP as a visitor from inside Canada. You have now applied for the wrong program and need to figure out if you can change to applying for a WP extension from inside Canada. At least you used your Canadian address when you applied for the extension from abroad and didn’t misrepresent your address or where you were currently living.

You will need to leave Canada and, hopefully, get your work permit at a port of entry.
 
If from a visa exempt country to get WP at POE.
It's a different case. He completed the work permit process as an outland. So he will get it at the port of entry. It's a common practice lately.

A visa exempt scenario is when you basically applying at a port of entry.
