travelling to Canada on expired visa on expired passport
I received the multiple entry visa from Canadian embassy. Unfortunately they put the visa expiration date equal to passport expiration date. Since then my passport has expired. I have received a new passport which now has a new passport number. In this situation do you guys think I can travel to Canada if I take both the passports? I guess I am confused since my visa has expired, and the link below says that you can travel to Canada if you have a valid visa on an expired passport.
Can I travel to Canada with valid visa on old/expired passport?
Best Answer
You need a valid visa to travel to Canada. It cannot be expired.
Several years ago Canada did issue visas which could have expiration dates after the expiration of the passport, but they have not done this in some time. All recent visas expire at the same time as the passport. So, when you renew your passport you must also apply for a new visa for Canada.

What happens if the passport expired but visa still valid?
Expired and Renewed passports do not affect the validity of the Visas. However, you must bring your old passport with valid visas along with your new passport when travelling.Can I travel to Canada if my passport is about to expire?
While Canada does not enforce a six-month rule of passport validity, we strongly recommend that your passport is valid for at least six months prior to your entry into Canada. Having a passport that is valid for six months or less when entering Canada could create potential problems.Can I travel with visa on expired passport?
Your visa has to be valid on the old passport that expired. It has to meet the purpose of the travel. The visa on old passport should not be damaged and in good condition. You need to carry both of your passports \u2013 the current valid passport and the old passport with valid US Visa.Can You Come to Canada on A Valid Visa on Expired Passport? Find It Here
