How long are you planning to stay in Canada - extension for work permit

[samidare]

Hello,

I started to create an application for extending my work permit (open) and I stuck with this question:

- How long are you planning to stay in Canada?

And here are the answer options:

- temporary less than 6 months
- temporary more than 6 months
- permanently

I'm wondering which will be my answer between "more than 6 months" or "permanently", because I apply for the extension for obtaining some time to prepare for the PR in near future, at this moment I cannot directly apply for the PR because I did not meet all the requirements yet (mainly the level of my french).

So, I just need an extension of my work permit for now but I intend to stay in Canada eventually, in this case should I choose the answer as "permanently"?
But even If I put "temporary more than 6 months" would it be changed the decision at the immigration office?

I don't know if I should consider just for extending the permit, or including the future after submitting this application as well. (I think I should be honest but are they gonna change their decision or the valid duration of a new permit based on the answer? That's what I'm afraid of..)

Thank you so much for your help,

On what basis are you applying to extend your open work permit?
