Thank you sk1984 and arkscan..
But there is a problem here..i cannot resubmit my passport since my visa office is new delhi and i am currently out of india..
Also talking with the Passport seva kendra in india, they told that the visas on old passport will still be valid and the new passport will contain special stamp that old passport contains valid visa. in short they are saying that i need to travel with 2 passports and it will be no problem
what is your views about it
has anybody faced similar situation in past?
Thanks in advance
Honestly, opinion on this is mixed..Check this thread for example->
http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/canada-pr-visa-becoming-invalid-on-passport-renewal-t245411.0.html
The London VO replied to an applicant specifically stating that renewing PP would invalidate the Visa....In response, a senior member 'namaste' posted the manual called ENF4 "Port of Entry Examinations" which contains the guidelines that CBSA Officers must follow for our landing...
See the Manual here->
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/enf/enf04-eng.pdf
Section 13.15 (page 56) specifically states that People with Expired PP must be allowed entry provided both the PPs are provided...but i looked at the section- Section 13 is specifically for "Temporary residents include visitors, students, workers, and permit holders"..It's completely silent on PR Holders...
So this all leaves a little doubt in my mind....If it's not a problem for u, I'd recommend u shud renew PP after landing..And u can renew the PP from Indian Embassies overseas....Or, if u renew now, u must keep the VO informed....
