Does anyone know if CIC accepts passport that has its validity extended for the PR visa? I got an email today from Centralized office asking for a copy of a passport that currently has a validity date beyond 6 months. I extended the validity of my passport until October 11, 2019 through the embassy of my country, and sent an electronic copy of its new expiry dates to them via Case Specific Enquiry as well as by post on May 2016, and according to my GCMS notes it was received on June 10, 2016 . Also, I already used this passport with the updated dates for the extension of my Work Permit which was extended until October 2017 a few weeks ago. So the Immigration Office accepted it as valid. Therefore I wonder why they requested a copy of passport again. Anyone has any suggestions, ideas/theories. Getting a new passport will take around 2 to 3 months therefore I was hoping that this passport will do. I'm August 2015 applicant and waiting for another 3 months for a new passport will be too long for this already very long process.
