Do I need to pay for work permit fees if I am paying for PR fees already?

I am sponsoring my partner under common-law.
He currently lives with me in Canada on a temporary work permit.
we are paying the fees for permanent residence on the application but have to apply for a work visa too? do i have to pay both sets of fees?
Also once the application is submitted can we update his work visa whilst the application is processing? His current visa expires in October and the application won't be approved by then.

Yes - you have to pay separate work permit fees and submit an OWP application when you submit the inland sponsorship application. The additional fees & application are required in order for the OWP to be issued. You want the OWP to be issued for two reasons: (1) to keep him in status in Canada while you wait for the sponsorship application to be processed; (2) to allow him to continue working beyond the expiry of his current work permit.

perfect! two last questions if it's not to much hassle,
Question 3 on IM 5710 is asking,
I am applying for one of more of the following:
- apply for work permit with the same employer
- apply for a work permit for the first time or with a new employer
- restore my status as a worker
- get a new temporary resident permit
He is currently on the IEC (international experience canada 2 year work travel visa) which option should we select? since none of them really make sense.
and is there a good link to the payment window for the work permit fees we keep going round in circles!?
