Renewal for work permit for refugee claiment.

[Trustwork801]

Hi Friends.
My work permit will expire in one month and I am working with employer.
My status is refugee claimant (Waiting decision from IRB). How I can apply to renew my work permit along with my wife and son.
Just checked the process in Register for an IRCC secure account - Canada.ca website but before that i want to consult this wonderful forum. If anyone recently applied and can give me quick start or guide step by step. Much appreciated.

To maintain your status, you should apply at least one month before the expiry date of your current work permit. You can follow the steps in this document - https://www.fcjrefugeecentre.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Work-Permit-Presentation.pdf

Do I need to apply for renewal of work permit for my wife and my son ( 17 years old ) separately or my application is sufficient ( As principle applicant ) ?

When we apply for the work permit extension for both refugee claimants and accepted refugees:
1. We go to the GCKey Portal https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/account.html
2. Go to the bottom page > Start an application > and click on "Apply to come to Canada"
3. In my case, no personal reference code, click on "visitor, study or work permit"
4. For questions: What would you like to do in Canada > Select Work > How long would you like to stay in Canada > Select Temporary less than 6 months, then answer all other questions
5. Not a US PR (most of us are not)
6. Find out if you are eligible to apply > Click on "Refugee Claimant" then Next button
7. Then select the situation that applies to you -- e.g. refugee claim in progress or accepted refugee or other situations
8. Then answer all other questions page by page
9. When asked if you have medical exam performed by IRCC authorized doctors in the past 12 months, click No, if you haven't had it (in my case I only did the medical exam paid by IRCC when making the refugee claim and is more than 12 months ago)
10. Then answer all other questions, and it will come to the page listing all your answers and then Next
11. You will see what documents you need to submit for a work permit extension: there's no medical exam required and no fee to be paid
