iec visa extension
Hi, i am a first time australian traveller to canada. I arrive in a few days, and i have all my documents and insurance, etc. but my problem is that my passport expires in jan 2028, so they wont give me the full 2 year visa. I know i can apply by mail to extend it to 2 years once i have my new passport, but does anyone have any idea if I need to be physically in canada to extend it? Or can i work the winter season, go home and get a new passport back in aus, then apply via international mail as long as i do it before the original visa expiry date? (jan 2028) or do i need to apply for a new passport at the aus embassy canada
Help much appreciated, thank you!!
