Valid visa on old passport, one time going to Canada
I am Indian passport holder, i have Canada visa stamped on old passport, as per PoE letter mentioned I need to apply for visa again if have new passport. Please advise
Best Answer
Your PoE letter is an official letter from the Canadian immigration authority saying that you have been approved for a particular kind of permit or visa to stay in Canada in some capacity other than as a tourist or business visitor.
As such, it stands to reason that your earlier visa may not be applicable to your future visit, especially if it is a regular visitor's visa.
But reason aside, you report that your PoE letter
mentioned I need to apply for visa again if have new passport.
If that is true, nobody here can contradict that requirement. You might try asking a Canadian government official if you can use your old visa, but if the letter says explicitly that you cannot, it's unlikely that anyone will tell you anything different.

I have a POE letter with the same thing. I freaked out upon finding out as I was suppose to fly to Canada during the week for my study permit. However I emailed the Embassy and they told me I can travel with both. And I did travel with both old passport with the valid visa inside and new passport.
