Understanding Canadian Work Permit
The work permit is a written authorization issued by an Immigration officer to a non-resident to stay and work in Canada for a specific period of time, usually awarded based on a Labour market assessment (LMIA) from Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) on a request from a canadian employer.

So if your conditions change and you wish to extend your work permit while changing your employer or staying with the same, you would need to apply for an extension of your work permit.
