    criminal background....cautioned v charged

    Implied status and 8 weeks validity of SIN

    Yes you do need a new job contract and a positive LMO......to extend your work permit. You can send an application and pay with your new contract and wait for the LMO to send later and this will give you an implied intent and able you to stay and work in your job until your new WP is approved.
