Dear all
Please I have received PPR but unfortunately no blank pages are availble in my passport and they stated that minimum of two pages are required.
Cant renew my passport within CIC deadline (30 days) as mmthe embassy of my home country takes longer time ..
Any idea/asvice ?
Thanks in advance !
 
A Really hard situation for you. A passport with no blank pages is as good as an expired one. Contact them about renewal using email.
 
I dont see how you could get around renewing your passport without any blank pages.

If the passport renewal time in your country is longer than the submission deadline, you can contact IRCC about it and see if they are willing to extend the deadline for you.

Quite shocking that you didn't realize it earlier or renewed it in time.
Renewing valid passports shouldn't be an issue. It should take just a few days.
Which country are you from, if okay to ask? There must be an urgent or speedy service. Call or visit your embassy to inquire.
 
I have never been told that would be such request.
I have a valid passport thats why I never cared
Egypt

Not an issue. Send an email to the email id mentioned in your PPR email and request for an extension. You will hear back from them within 3-5 days and get your passport renewed ASAP. I am not sure if there is an expedited renewal service available in your country, if it is, get it renewed and you should be all set to send the passport.
 
Do as legalfalcon has mentioned above.

You will get an extension and will just have to wait a little more because of this issue. Nothing to be worried, though. Just a little bit of further delay because of your passport.

Relax and good luck!

Good point.

It is the responsibility of every applicant to understand the rules ahead of time and prepare for future steps in the application.

I would be surprised if Egypt didnt offer some kind of quick renewal service, possibly for an additional fee.

I tried to find out more about it but couldnt find any pages in English.

Try to contact the Egyptian Embassy as soon as you can to find out what options you have.

What is your current country of residence (from which country would you be applying for your passport renewal)? I am trying to search if I can find any useful information.
 
If you are in Egypt, apparently you can get the renewal done in a matter of 3 business days, according to this:

Would that be an option for you?

Seems the person went offline. Anyways, the best way is to contact the embassy or the consulate and ask for an expedited service.
 
Fly to Egypt to renew it in 3 days if you can , then go back to where you currently live and proceed as normal

Even if he manages to renew his passport before the deadline, he will still need to inform CIC. The renewed passport and the old passport will have different numbers. The local VO will not be able to verify/match his records if CIC does not know about this. Renew, and inform CIC asap!
