Yes
I am currently on a closed work permit, and am looking to extend. I have filled out the necessary forms, and obtained a GCKey, but when I login, I can only apply for the express entry - there does not seem to be any mechanism for extending the work permit. I have the employers application number, so everything is done at the front end.

Am I missing something? How do I get past the generic 'Come to Canada' part? (I'm already in Canada and working).

What kind of work permit do you hold? On what basis are you extending?

Closed work permit. When I came in, we only went for a 1 year work permit, but given its taking longer than anticipated to be able to start the application for PR, I'm extending for 2 years. Its LMIA exempt.
