Apply outside Canada or within Canada?

Hello guys. It's been a while, but I finally graduated in Canada as an international student.

And I just received an offer letter from the college beginning semester in January 2027.

So I am trying to apply for a new study visa.

Now I am in Canada and have a study permit expired on Sep. 30.

And I plan to leave Canada and trip to my home country from August 3 to November ish.

To apply the new one, I don't know which to select "apply outside Canada" or "apply within Canada".

Anyone knows what I need to select?

Thank you
