hi icycool.

i also want to apply for extension of my work permit. But my passport will also expire a month before my work permit expires. Shoud i send new contract with the application? My contract will also expire on the same year my WP expires. everything expires 2012! should i renew my passport first before applying for extension?

You need to apply and get your new passport because CIC usually issues based or co-terminus with passport expiry.
