Passport expiry

[venkat2c]

Hello All,

My passport expires on Sep 2013. I am eligible to apply under CEC in Dec 2012 as I will complete my 2 yrs in Dec 2012. Will my application be considered even if my passport expires during the PR Processing time?

If I have to apply for a passport renewal, I can apply only in Mar 2013 as I can apply only 6 months before it expires, and then I have to apply for PR.

Please advice, if its fine if I can apply for PR in Dec 2012.

Thanks,

1. Apply with the passport in December and when you renew it, send a copy of the renewal

If you are an Indian and presently in Canada, you can submit your passport application within one year of expiry date not 6 months.
even I was under the same impression(6M), but one of my friends applied with in 1 year. and I got the same update from VFS officer.

It takes only one week to receive your new passport.

Thanks inayatH, I will check with local VFS here and see. I have gone through the website and thought its 6 months.
Thanks for the information.
