Hello friends of canada,

I applied for the IEC program and got my work permit, but the passport I used expires in octobre. I already got a new Passport, but it was to late to update it on the government website before my work permit got approved. Now I am unsure if everything is allright and if I can get my work permit for the duration of the new passport when I get to the airport office. When I wrote the help center, they only sayed that I have to get an new ETA, wich I did. But is that really enough?

Thanks to everyone who takes the time time to answer!

Yes, for now an ETA is all what you need. Take with you all your documents and ask the immigration official if he can issue a new work permit for the entire length of your contract with the new passport. If not, you'll need to apply for a work permit extension before the current one expires. Most likely the agent at the airport is going to help you.
