When they send me a PPR, do they require me to send a passport with more than 6 months validity ?

My passport will be expired in December 31, 2016.

I cannot extend my passport as I am a citizen of Korea who haven't served a military service.

If I cannot provide a renewed passport, will my application be cancelled?

1, There is no requirement to have 6 months passport validity in Canada. If a visa is issued it would only be valid to December 31st. No valid passport, no visa,

But this would mean you have to enter Canada before 31.12. If u did not recieve ppr yet, I would suggest you renew your passport. Not sure how long it takes over there, but I renewed mine and got it within a couple days. Then you can send cic details of your new passport

1. Read the OP's post, his country of citizenship will not renew his passport.

Well.. I am sorry about your situation. I think you should talk to CIC and communicate this to them when you get PPR. They might already know about this requirement in your country so they might waive the 6 month requirement but anyway, you must land before the passport expires.

Good luck!
