Hi Ennaesor,

PCG Vancouver has this announcement;

http://vancouverpcg.net/pcg/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=264&Itemid=89

I renewed mine last March and until now I have not yet received it. I called them and asked the tentative date of my passport's arrival. The person said that passports this week are from those who applied mid-February. She also suggested to check every week the list on their website. This list, she assures, are up-to-date.

you should go to the nearest PCG to renew your passport (toronto or vancouver) And then forward the copy of your renewed passport to CIC and attach a cover letter to let them know that you renew your passport. Otherwise they will issue you a OWP which is co-terminus based on the passport you submitted on your application. As what happened to my friend she just got 2 months remaining in her OWP because her passport expires in 2 months.


I renewed mine last 3rd week of Feb and received my new passport April 25. Good luck.

Oh my goodness, I think I have more problem than I thought, see, when I apply for renewal of my passport, one of the requirement is to provide a valid work permit/visa. But my work permit also expires on september. I don't have a legal status document to provide since I am not working right now. I spoke with an immigration officer about this and he told me that I can legally stay here until a decision has been made regarding my application for PR and OWP, because I am on "IMPLIED STATUS" (as long as I am not working for somebody else). What should I do about this? Thank u so much honeysweetie!

Another friend of mine who also applied her OWP & PR went to PCG Vancouver last January 2011 to renew her Passport and she doesn't have any WP/Visa since it's already expired last Dec 2010 but they allowed her (PCG Vancouver) to renewed her passport because she said it to me that she is under "Implied Status". Try to phone PCG Vancouver or email them. visit http://vancouverpcg.net/pcg/index.php?option=com_contact&Itemid=3
