Hi ,

I am currently awaiting PR confirmation after the submission of ITA documentations. My passport is expiring in 1 year . In this situation i am not sure about when i can renew my passport.

What would be the process that i should be undergoing if i renew the passport :

1. Before PR confirmation.
2. After PR confirmation.

Considering my Passport is valid till medical exam expiry, I can always land in Canada even without renewing passport. But then, i am not sure of the hassles of renewing it from outside the country.

Please advise on the right process to be followed.
 

k.h.p.

You need a valid passport to land.

Renew your passport before PR confirmation so you don't have to hope it will be processed in time.

Thanks for responding . My passport will be valid before landing as I understand I must land before medicals expiring anyways.

However, if I take steps to renew the same now, would I need to keep CIC informed regarding the new passport document. How would it affect my documentations if previous passport is renewed in the middle of PR processing
