Guys, I am just wondering my passport is expiring on nov 2015 and im sending my application for CEC in the first week of sep for sure, waiting for my ielts test, should i renew my passport first , it will take about 2 months i found out. or can i just send the copy of my current passport with cec app now and get my passport renewed after? will they effect my application in any way? Also, can you send the application and travel outside like if i dont apply for my bowp and just wait until a decision is made on ma application but then how do i send medicals n stuff? m so confused bcz i really wanna go back home for a longer time like 6 months at least. should i get a bowp n then quit my job n go back home?
