				| I guess I should clarify a bit.  I'm on an E-2. 
 My contract ends on August 16.  I plan to renew with my school for another year.  Can I submit the paperwork to renew now?  I don't imagine immigration would have let me renew last August, would they?  I guess then I could just renew for 2012-2013 this August as soon as my new contract starts, and totally circumvent the new CBC requirements for 2012.  That'd be pretty convenient...

				| You can renew/extend/change your contract any time. 
 You can extend (for 1 day to 1 year) your status of sojourn up to 60 days prior to your ARC expiry.

 I'm confused here... Do you mean 1-60 days before the ARC expires?

 Yes, the period for doing the extension (at k-immigration) is 1-60 days prior to your ARC expiry.
 
 Length of extension period can be from 1 day to 1 year.
 
 note: under exceptional circumstances they will OCCASIONALLY do the extension more than 60 days early (as an example, you work at a university, you have more than 60 days of holidays, you will be out of the country for that time period. They will let you extend prior to your departure.
