PASSPORT ABOUT TO EXPIRE AFTER COPR AND STAMPING

[Aamir Syed]

Hi everyone
I received my COPR and my passport was stamped and i was bound to travel on 10th April 2020 but could not travel due to COVID19 cancellations. Now my stamped passport will be expired on 15 th Nov 2020 and as per 6 months rule, i have to travel before 15th of May 2020 but as you all know as per the present situation all the flights has been cancelled until 16th May 2020. Just want to know if i renewed my passport will there be any issues as the passport no. on COPR will be different and also the old passport will have the visa stamp.
Totally confused as i am getting mixed responses. Do i have to raise a webform and go through the whole passport submission process? OR i can directly carry both the passports and show the relation?
Please help...

There is no 6 month rule.

There is no 6 month rule.

Hello,
As per airlines advisory, i cannot travel or book a flight on a passport which is about to expire or has validity less than 6 months.

Canada has no 6 month rule, so you can travel here. Only some countries have that rule.

Canada has no 6 month rule, so you can travel here. Only some countries have that rule.

But here most of the airlines do not accept passports having less than 6 months of expiry, so i have to renew the passport and i was concerned about my COPR and my visa having old passport details.

As Canada has no 6 month rule, the airline should not be allowed to refuse your passport. Have you actually tried booking a ticket?

You can renew it if you want. You would just travel with both passports.
