Hi, I'm brazilian and I've been working in Canada since 2008.

Initially I got a 3 year work visa and work permit. Both expired last year, when I then renewed them. The problem is that my passport expires next january and because of that, the Work Visa was only issued for this period. Funny enough, the Work Permit was issued based on the LMO, so I got another 3 year period for it.

I also applied for PR this year and it just went through the initial phase...

My question is: after I renew my passport, how do I extend my work visa to the duration of the work permit? Is it even possible? And can I still apply even though my PR is being processed? I think I can only have one case opened with CIC?

Thanks a lot
