Hi everyone ,

I recieved PPR request and in the email it is written that "Your passport(s) should be valid for at least 12 months and have at least two blank pages." My passport has got only 9 months of validity(Aug-2022) and I know from GCMS notes that my COPR is valid until Apr-2022, so it is before my passport gets expired.

Does that mean I must change my passport before applying for visa ? Or it is just a suggestion from IRCC to have min 12 months valid passport ?

I'm FSW-Outland , residing outside of Canada.

Thanks in advance!

First of congratulations. I think Passport should be valid for atleast 6 months. Please check CIC website. I believe you will receive COPR with validity upto the validity of your passport. Whats your Timeline?
