You can extend your WP using the nomination certificate and work permit support letter.
Go to this link: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/extend-stay.asp

Select: Your job is extended or changes
You are presented with two choices - you can apply online, or via a paper application. Follow the links in this webpage.

Well then - if you had heeded my earlier post to devote time to read - you will come to here (see text in Red):
See if you need a Labour Market Impact Assessment
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/apply-who-permit.asp
.....
These people need a work permit but do not need an LMIA:

Workers covered under international agreements
This group can include:
professionals,
traders,
investors.
People taking part in exchange programs
These programs can include:
youth exchange programs,
teacher exchange programs and
other joint programs.
Spouses
This group can include:
spouses and common-law partners of certain foreign students who are studying full time (the spouse must not be enrolled in full-time studies) and
spouses and common-law partners of certain skilled foreign workers.

Workers, their spouses/common-law partners or their dependants who are eligible for a work permit through a pilot project
Pilot projects are agreements between the Government of Canada and provincial/territorial governments. Find out if you are eligible to come to Canada through a pilot project.

Workers nominated by a province for permanent residence
The person must have a job offer from an employer based in that province.


Please devote time to read through the webpages - a lot of the answers to your questions are there ONLY if you devote time to read through and understand the link.

In addition, read through the instruction guide to apply to extend your work permit. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5553ETOC.asp

That gives you the instructions (some even step by step) in filling out forms and information needed to do the application.
