Dear Sir/Madam,
This is in response to your recent email enquiry to the Immigration Section of the High Commission of Canada in New Delhi.
If you have a valid visa for Canada in your full or expired passport, and you have been issued a new passport, you may continue to use the visa in your full or expired passport, but you will need to travel with both your new passport and the passport with the valid visa when you travel to Canada.
To avoid the necessity of travelling with both your full or expired passport and your new passport, you may wish to have the visa in your full or expired passport cancelled and a replacement visa (with the same validity) placed in your new passport. There is a fee for this service. The current fee for replacement or re-issuance of an immigration document can be found at this link on our website:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/fees/fees.asp#other. Submit the forms and fees to VFS. Visit the website links below for instructions at
www.canada.ca/immigration.
Please note Canada does not require that your passport be valid for six months from the date of your intended visit to Canada. However, if you intend to travel onwards to a third country which does require six months passport validity, you will need to ensure your travel document meets the entry requirements of that country before you travel to Canada.
Sincerely,
Client Service Unit, Migration | Unité du Service à la clientele, migration
