Thank you very much Ragluf,so it means to say even my TWP that in my old passport is less than two years but if I show my new passport together with my old passport @ POE they will issued 2 years WP in my new passport?
You will not be issued a TWP by the VAC @ HK - what will be issued to you is a temporary resident's visa (TRV) with class/category W-1 - this signifies you are entering as a worker.
This is not a permit yet - this is a visa that is affixed to your passport. You need this visa to travel to/enter Canada - this is an entry document.
At the PoE, you will be issued your WP. This is your status document and is separate from the TRV in your passport. So you will have 2 types of documents after being processed at the PoE.
1. The TRV - this is issued by the VO or in your case VAC HK and is affixed/stamped to your passport
2. The Work Permit - this is issued at the PoE (port of entry) when you arrive in Canada
The work permit is proof of your worker status, the TRV is an entry document you use to travel into Canada. You do not substitute one for the other (i.e. use the WP to travel into Canada - the WP is NOT a Travel document).
Now to answer your question - please understand first the difference between a TRV and a WP as I stated above so you can be clear what can happen.
Even if your TRV issued by VAC HK has less than two (2) years validity, you can be issued a 2yr Work Permit, as long as the valid presented passport at the PoE has an expiry of greater than 2 years. Which means:
1. You may have a TRV that will expire in less than 2 years (based on expiry date of your old passport which was valid at the time of submission to VAC HK)
2. You may be issued a WP that will expire in 2 years (before the expiry date of your new passport, which is valid at the time of presentation at the PoE).
