Yah you can apply, the problem is they will not give you a visa or permit that is valid longer than the validity of your passport. So if you have time might as well renew your passport now, or before you send in the application. (Hopefully it doesn't take that long.)

Yes you can extend a work permit from within Canada. Assuming you won't have a problem getting your passport renewed from here.


Hope it work out. :)
