Hi guys

I have a question, I appreciate anyone could help me in this regard
my passport is valid till 2020.07 and my program ends in 2019.04 now the problem is I wanna apply for PGWP after graduation however on the CIC website they wrote this : "Important information: The validity period of your work permit cannot exceed that of your passport. Therefore, you should ensure that your passport's validity exceeds the amount of time you are requesting on your application." so I`ve just got a year with my current passport. can I re-validate my passport almost 1.5 year earlier? if yes, do I need to resend my new passport for issuing study permit again and then for work permit? if no, what happens to 3 years work permit?

You can renew your passport when you are near to your expiry date and re-apply for work permit extension. One of my friend did the same thing.
