Expired Passport

[VaibhavB]

Hi All,
I applied for PR (with 2 dependents wife and kid) in May 2020. while waiting for PR application to be approved, my kid's (She is a US citizen while I & my wife are Indian citizens) passport expired and due to Covid, it could not be renewed and my kid's name was put into a waiting list by US immigration for PP renewal.

Now today we received email from IRCC asking for kid's valid PP. however I replied with explanation but do you know what could be implications in this case ? Can still IRCC issue COPR with expired US PP.

Thanks
Vaibhav

I don't believe that's possible. I think you will have to keep asking for extensions until you are able to renew your child's passport.
