Submit your current passport and have it stamped. When you get it back you can apply for a new passport and then travel with both. The visa would still be very much valid even on though it's on the old passport. Cheers.
Might come today, might take longer. i got my first GU 9 days ago and haven't heard since.
Thanks for the quick response buddy.. I was also hoping for same.. but was concerned about the clause "Your passport must be valid for at least six months". I mean seeing this clause not being met by my current passport, won't they deny to stamp?
No you won't be denied the stamp. Lots of people have been stamped with similar time to expiry of passport like yours. That guideline is just standard. If CIC was truly concerned about your passport expiry, they would have requested you submit a new passport before issuing ppr. So you're fine. You are still 6 months from expiry, not 5 or 4.
Thanks for putting so much of assurance.. I hope this would be good to go.. still If I need to confirm from the officials shall i contact CIC/ Passport Collection center (VFS - New Delhi) and in that case, could anyone in the group help me with right contacts like mail/direct number..
A very good sign, probably during the week
