How can I renew my work permit as a student?

Finding a Job / Working

Hi,

I am a student in the process of getting my PR sponsored by my spouse. I got a Co-op work permit six months ago from my student status.

There are two questions that I want to ask about:

  1. In question number 3, from the form Imm-5710e ( I am applying for one or more of the following:). Which box should I choose if I want to renew my Work Permit by following 4 boxes below?

      1. Apply for work permit with the same employer.         2. Apply for a work permit for first time or with a new employer.   
   
  3. Restore my status as worker                      4. Get a new temporary resident permit ( for inadmissible applicants only)

  2. What type of Work Permit I should apply for? A Open Work Permit?
