Hi,
My passport is expiring on 3rd October 2011 and am travelling from Mumbai, India to Canada in the month of May/June 2011 on a Permanent Residents Visa of Canada (one time entry visa) which expires in July 2011.
The local passport office in Mumbai, India were not able to answer my question satisfactorily. Other sources like travel agents and frequent travellers, etc. say that I will not be allowed to travel as I have to travel six months prior to expiration of the passport.
I had written to the Immigration Section of the Canadian High Commission in New Delhi regarding my predicament and they replied saying that I must travel on the same passport (passport expiring on 3rd October 2011) on which my Permanent Residents Visa is pasted and the same can be renewed from Indian Embassy in Canada. I have attached their email for your perusal.
Can you please advice on the procedure and the course of action to be taken?
Thank you,
Regards,
P. Mistry
