You don't apply for the WP at the port of entry if you are not visa exempt. Do what the embassy is telling you to do. If approved, you will get the TRV as a worker and be issued a WP when you enter Canada. It's one application.

What do you mean by returnee with the same employer? Are you applying for another work permit? You can send the application for a new work permit to CPC Vegreville if you are already in Canada as a worker and your work permit not expired. You need a new LMO if you are not under the live in caregiver program else, you only need a new contract and a letter from your employer stating that they still need your services. If your work permit is expired, you may need to apply for a restoration of status together with your work permit application.

I'm going to assume you are in the Philippines. The instructions you need to follow are here:
