Please, I want to extend my study permit by two years to enable me continue with my program. But my international passport cannot be valid to cover the program. At the moment, my goal is to extend my permit and hold on with the visa renewal until my passport meets the condition of its renewal which is that it must be about six months to the expiring date. Please, do you think that extending my permit with this passport would prevent me from getting the two years study permit extension? Your urgent response is highly needed.

You say workpermit in the subject and study permit in the body text. Which one is it.

Make sure your passport covers your entire study period when you apply. You could run in to problems when you extend. If you already have your permit, you need to extend it as soon as you have a new passport.

You would not get 2 years if you extend your permit now. A permit cannot be extended beyond the expiry date of a passport.

You can apply to extend the permit now to cover you until your current passport expires. Once you have a new passport, you can apply for another extension to cover the remaining time of your studies.

Yes you can extend your passport from canada and no it won't have any effect on your study permit. Study permit is a completely different thing. You need passport to travel and study permit to study.

CIC does not issue permits beyond the expiry date of a passport. Your study permit would be valid only until your passport expires in January 2015. Passport renewal in Canada depends what country you are from; check with your country's embassy or consulate here in Canada. Once you have a new passport, you can apply to extend your study permit. You must submit the extension application BEFORE your study permit expires in Jan 2015 in order to maintain your status in Canada

if my application will be successful and i got study permit..does this permit starts from the beginning date of my course i.e September 2014 and lasts till my passport expires i.e January 2015? this means my study permit will only be for a period between sept 2014 and jan 2015 i.e 4 to 5 months, am i right??

if it is so then what should i do?? what am thinking is that all i need is to reach canada get my passport renewed and apply for study permit extension..will this be ok or what else do i have to do to cope with this situation??

please suggest ur suggestion will be highly appreciable..
