Hey
@Miss bee,
I applied for Non EE PNP last November after getting my OINP International student form. ( still waiting for AOR)
I just realized that when I went for vacation last month back home I renewed my passport since it'll expire end of 2025 and I wont be there so I was like might as well do it while I'm there.
Do I need to update anything or raise a webform or something, knowing that my passport document number is different now.
I found an option called "
Update or ask about your application: Add a document to your application".
Should I add my new passport page and explain what happened?
Yes, it is essential to update your application with your new passport details, as the passport is a key document in immigration applications. Here iswhat you should do:
1. Update Your Application Using the Webform
Go to the IRCC webform:
Update or ask about your application
Select the appropriate option, such as Add a document to your application.
Explain the situation in the provided text box. Mention that you renewed your passport during your recent trip, the reason for doing so, and provide the details of both the old and new passports (e.g., passport number, issue date, expiry date, country of issue).
Attach a scanned copy of the biographical page of your new passport (in PDF or JPEG format) and any other relevant documents, if required.
2. Include the Following in Your Explanation
Your full name and date of birth.
Unique Client Identifier (UCI) and application number (if available).
Mention that your old passport is no longer valid and has been replaced by a new one.
3. Double-check Before Submitting
Ensure the uploaded documents are clear and legible.
Confirm you're re submitting the update to the correct processing office or department.
4. Follow Up
After submitting the webform, you should receive a confirmation email.
Keep an eye on your email for any further instructions from IRCC.
This step ensures your application reflects accurate and up-to-date information, preventing potential delays or complications in processing.
