Hi all,
Have couple of questions stuck in my mind and I was wondering if you could help.
In a nutshell:
1- Applied for TRPR, got BIL and submitted everything - waiting for another update at the moment
2- Work permit/work visa on pasaport is ending this year August 30
3- Passport is expiring next year August 30
4- I would like to travel for a few weeks, but it has to be either June 2nd week or August 1st week
5- Need to apply for work permit extension asap
1- If I apply for work permit extension, it is 18 months - and from now to next year August 30 (passport) it is less than 18 months. I need to make sure my passport is renewed so that I can use the full 18-month extension.
2- I came to know that new passports take 4-5 weeks. My appointment with the consulate is on May 6th (I'm debating whether I should cancel it or not), and 4-5 weeks after that would be exactly when I was planning to get on the plane to travel. If manage to have both old+new passports on time, then there should not much of a problem. Then I can apply either in Canada or my home country for my work permit extension.
3- If I skip the passport renewal now, I still need to apply for work permit extension. Let's say I did - then I have to tell IRCC my passport expiry and they would only issue it until Aug 30 next year. Would I be totally missing those months or I can extend it once again after passport renewal?
4- Would it be smart to wait it out until I come back from my vacation around 1st week of July? Would a customs officer ask me in the airport if I have any plans in place or would let me go without any issues since my work permit/visa is still valid until Aug 30?
Thanks.
