Hi,
I am a refugee in the process of getting my PR. I have realized my work permit expired earlier this month, I forgot to extend it. Few questions:
1) I am still working at my job. Should I quit the job I have now as I am not allowed to work until I get a new work permit? I read somewhere about having 90 days to apply again I think.
2) Is there a difference process for a refugee when applying for work permits than other people? As I keep trying to open a new work permit application on the canada immigration website but it keeps redirecting me back to "my applications" homepage, where I can see my other applications but I can't make a new one. The new work permit paper or online always makes the assumption that you aren't a refugee applying. Refugees have a different standard from what I read but I could be wrong.
3) Should I just apply for a new work permit in paper form? Am I doing anything wrong that would be illegal?
4) Which organization can I contact in Toronto/scarborough so I can ask my question to ensure it is legal.
Thank you for your help.

Hello,
Here is a link to the Restoration of temporary resident status:
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/temporary-residents/visitors/restoration-status.html
Both paper and online applications are accepted by IRCC, however, there is a difference in processing times.
Always keep proof of your application's submission.
Thank you
