You will be extending your work permit and since the form is used for so many other purposes, you click the box "C". You do it about 60 days prior to the current expiry. Send it by COURIER and not the local post.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/imm1249e.pdf

This form is for the use of:
Extend their stay as a worker;
Change conditions of their stay as a worker
Change their class to include permission to work; OR
Correct problems in their status

Please note:
The validity of your work permit cannot exceed the validity of your passport. So make sure that your Passport has a longer validity plus enough time in case you want to apply for PR status too. (Renew it on time, cannot renew it too early)

Note:** The Case Processing Center receives large volumes of applications in the temporary resident categories each year. It is recommended that you apply at least 30 days before the expiry of your current document. However, you may want to apply in advance of this recommended period since processing delays vary.

In addition to the requirements for all temporary residents, you must provide:

Your job offer letter or contract from your prospective employer, and the file number provided by Human Resources and Social Development Canada (HRSDC) to locate the HRSDC confirmation (your employer should be able to provide you with this file identifier);

Evidence that you meet the requirements of the job, possibly including specific educational requirements;

for renewal:
