passport reissue

[vig123]

Hello people,

Is my PR or work permit based on my passport date. Suppose my passport expires in 2019 (it was for 10 years) and if I get my PR now would I be getting only till 2019?

Your PR not depends on your passport expire date.

However if you need a visa in your passport, when you get a new passport in 2019 you should call/email/request CIC to re-issue your PR visa in your new passport

Thank you Gregor. But still I am bit confused. So you mean to say that my visa depends on my passport date? Suppose I get my PR now for 5 years I would be still able to get that till 2021

Hi vig123

PR Card expiration date doesnt depend on the expiration of your passport.
Normally PR Card has 5 years validity. and you can renew it if you meet the condition for renewal.

Thank you Gregor. But still I am bit confused. So you mean to say that my visa depends on my passport date? Suppose I get my PR now for 5 years I would be still able to get that till 2021

Suppose your PR card is valid 2016-2021.

Just need to worry about your passport if you are from a country which need visa, because visa will be issued in your current passport

If your passport expires in 2019 and you have a new one any time I guess (really I don't know) a new visa (no PR Card) can be issued to your new passport, excepts carrying new passport and old passport with visa, plus PR card is OK to come back to Canada.

I'm from a visa waiver country so I don't know how it works, but someone will know it in this forum.


Passport renewal depends on your country rules.
