My U.S. passport which was used at entry into Canada expired in September 2012. The stamped entry date was June 1, 2012. Normally, the visitor status would expire Dec 1, 2012. I already got a new passport in August 2012 which I obtained via a U.S. consulate in Canada. I am wondering whether the expiry of my passport has any bearing on when the visitor status ends. In other words, does visitor status expire as usual (Dec 1 in my case). Or did it expire when my passport expired? :eek: I have both passports in my hand.

I'm concerned because I'm about to submit an application for extension and need to understand whether I'm out of status or what. Thanks!

No one? Asked differently, does visitor status expire with passport expiration? Or does it continue with new passport?
