visa stamped

[Shijukabby]

Want to express my thanks to people who helped me in My queries,
Submitted my passport on the 28th June and received it today with the visa stamping.

As my passport is expiring on the 1/1/2016 the visa is also given only until the 1/1/2016,
I am planning to renew my passport now, we are planning to travel in November,
Can I renew and travel with the new passport even though the visa is in my old passport?

This would be my last ever worry regarding my PR

This was a very long journey which started in May 2014.
Thanks again and best of luck to everyone here.

Better to renew from Canada. do not take risk from India before arriving.

Correct its better and easy (with less headaches) to renew in Canada except the below issue:
Most of the countries require 6 months of passport validity while travelling international.
So it now depends on the rules they have at India, Canada and the transit countries.

Actually, I read a post that I should renew before I travel. And am planning to do that as the passport should have 6months validity for international travels... My pp is having only 5 months now.... And we Re traveling in November.

The correct process would have been to renew the passport before the PPR and get the visa on the new passport. But since you already submitted it, you
have to live with it.

It is better to renew after you land in canada.

Valid PRV on an Expired Passport ? -No Problem

13.15. Valid visas in expired passports
If an expired passport contains a valid visa counterfoil, the counterfoil can still be used since the expiration of the passport has no effect on the visa's validity. Holders of a valid visa may continue to use their visa until the date it expires even if the visa is in an expired passport. Visitors can fulfil the visa and passport requirements by presenting both the renewed and expired passports containing the valid visa counterfoil to a BSO when seeking entry into Canada. The Regulations state that visas should not be issued longer than the validity of the passport. However, due to pre- IRPA cases, it is possible to encounter visas in expired passports.

It is not possible to "transfer" a valid visa into a new passport. If the holder of a valid visa wishes to have a visa placed in their new passport or if the passport is deemed ‘not valid' for political or security concerns, visitors must apply for a replacement visa by submitting a new application and paying the replacement document fee in accordance with R311(2).

If the applicant wishes to obtain a visa valid for a longer period in the new document, this will constitute a new temporary resident visa application and any applicable fees resulting from this new application will be collected. The previous visa will subsequently be cancelled.
