Hi,
I have applied for Canadian working permit. When I submitted the forms, I was permanent resident of the United State, which means I filled the forms with my old passport number and nationality. However, the permit application took a long time. Now I am a citizen of the United States and finally received the approval document from Canada Visa office.
Will the change of nationality affect the already issued working permit? Should I re-apply?
Thanks

I'm not an authority on this, but I wouldn't think this should affect the work permit you hold. I would update Immigration with your new passport number.

Thanks, Pippin
How could I contact Immigration to update it? Any web address or forms?
