Expiring passport and study permit application

[imadofrank]

Hello everyone,
please i need some help,i am about to apply for a Canadian study permit (2013 -2015) but i am concerned about the length of the permit i will be issued and possibility of renewal since my passport will be expiring in 2014. I learnt that the embassy cannot issue a permit that is longer than the passport validity. Is it okay to apply with my current passport or do i have to wait till my passport expires and get a new one before applying(really not an option for me). I dont want to have problems with my application.

Thanks for you help!

Buddy you have heard it right, that CHC will issue you a Study permit according to PP validity.

I will suggest you to first renew your passport then apply your Visa..

Valid visas in expired passports
If an expired passport contains a valid visa counterfoil, the
counterfoil can still be used since the expiration of the
passport has no effect on the visa's validity. Holders of a
valid visa may continue to use their visa until the date it
expires even if the visa is in an expired passport. Visitors can
fulfil the visa and passport requirements by presenting both
the renewed and expired passports containing the valid visa
counterfoil to a BSO when seeking entry into Canada. The
Regulations state that visas should not be issued longer than
the validity of the passport. However, due to pre- IRPA cases,
it is possible to encounter visas in expired passports.
It is not possible to "transfer" a valid visa into a new
passport. If the holder of a valid visa wishes to have a visa
placed in their new passport or if the passport is deemed ‘not
valid' for political or security concerns, visitors must apply
for a replacement visa by submitting a new application and
paying the replacement document fee in accordance with
R311(2).
If the applicant wishes to obtain a visa valid for a longer
period in the new document, this will constitute a new
temporary resident visa application and any applicable fees
resulting from this new application will be collected. The
previous visa will subsequently be cancelled.
