因为中国大陆的申请人仍然需要在护照上贴上加拿大永久居民签证，偶尔我们会遇到有的申请人因为各种原因在贴签完成后必须更换护照。这个问题实际上在其他类型的加拿大小签内也出现过。那加拿大移民签证贴签后，登陆加国之前，护照更新了怎么办？
1.通知IRCC相关情况
为安心起见，最好及时通知移民局这一个情况。大家可以通过IRCC webform联系使馆或相应的IRCC办公室，通知护照更新事宜。
2.实际可以持新旧护照和有效签证一起使用
根据以往使馆回复：申请人持贴签的旧护照，新护照，移民纸一起登陆入关即可；不必再将贴签护照寄回签证中心，重新贴签。 旧护照剪角时，要保留有效签证页的完整，一定不要剪掉这些有效签证页。
Dear Sir / Madam,
Please be advised that you may present both your old and new passports along with your Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) at the port of entry in Canada for landing. There is no need for you to return documents for issuance of a new visa and COPR.
We hope that this information will be of assistance.
3.特殊情况
如果因为旧护照有效期太短PR签证给的有效期很短而无法按时登陆，这种需要考虑体检有效期。实际上PR签证的有效时间一般不会超过旧护照的到期日。
加拿大首登时间一般按照PR签证的有效时间或者体检后一年，哪个时间早以哪个为准。如果PR签证的有效时间早于体检后一年，申请人在护照到期前无法按时首登，也需要联系IRCC webform,更换护照后需要将贴签旧护照，新护照，移民纸一起回寄使馆，重新贴签，首登日期也可延长至体检后一年的时间。
值得注意的是，这仅仅适用于旧护照有效期很短的情况，一般IRCC加拿大移民局是不同意延长PR签证的。
