Hi,
I've a peculiar case in my visa application.
I'm from India. I've applied for the study permit for the 2018 summer intake in Concordia University on 17 March 2018. It got approved and got a mail from cic asking me to submit the passport. Also in the mail they mentioned "Your passport must be valid for the duration of your expected length of stay in Canada and Please note that we cannot issue a visa beyond the expiry date on the passport". My passport will expire on May 2019. So I was worried since the class is about to start I didn't have time to renew the passport and submitted it and decided to renew it after I go there.
After submission I still haven't gotten my passport, and it says it will get delivered by May 9th. On May 2nd the classes will start. I reported the scenario to my program adviser in the university. And she said, the classes are so important and if I'm not able to reach there by 2 May. It is better to defer. And I'm about to request for the deferral for Fall 2018, that will be September, by that time I'll have only 8 months validity in my passport. Right now I've time to renew my passport as I'll be flying on September.
My question is should I renew the passport? With the visa stamped in the expired passport will I be able to travel with the new passport?and is there any way that I can submit my renewed passport and get the visa stamped for the entire course duration?
Thanks.
