Hi to all,
I need advise from experienced members or people who maybe were in similar situation as I am. I got my immigrant visa and it is valid till 12 March 2019, however I plan to lend in Canada sometime in February 2019 and my passport validity is till 23 March 2019. So, at the moment I land my passport will be valid for less then six months. I read somewhere that that is not a problem for entering Canada, but for me it is going to be a problem to enter European Union to catch a flight to Canada, since the EU law requires that your travel document is at least 6 months valid.
In ENF 4 I found:
13.18 Valid visas in expired passports
Visa officers will not put a visa in an expired document and will not issue a visa for a period
surpassing the expiry date of the passport or travel document. Occasionally, documents containing valid visas are cancelled or replaced. If a valid visa inside an expired document is presented at the POE along with a valid passport or travel document, the visa is considered valid.
However my passport will not expire I will need to re-new it, and also they did not specify what kind of visa ?
I emailed Embassy of Canada in Vienna(the office that issued my visa) and CIC, but there are no replies.
If someone has an idea what to do please advise me.
