An RTR P is always issued on the basis of the validity of the foreign CPL and Foreign RT

What the WPC does is they look at the validity of both and pick the one that has lower validity . But no validity for RTR P will exceed 20 years

eg: Canadian CPL is valid for 5 years
Canadian RT is valid for life
Validity of Indian RT will be 5 years

New Zealand CPL valid for life
New Zealand RT valid for life
Validity of Indian RT will be 20 years

Philippine CPL valid for 1 year
Philippine RT valid for 5 years
Validity of Indian RT will be 1 year

As you can see the WPC will choose the lowest of both

In order to renew the RTR P you will still need a valid CAAP CPL and RT . But when you renew it , its only going to again valid for 1 year

You have a few options going forward . I'l put them in the order of easiest to hardest

1. Renew the Philippine CPL ( and RT if possible ) then apply to renew the RTR P license on the basis of 30 hours of flying within the past 3 years

2. Apply and pass the WPC Part 1 exam only . Then they will issue an RTR C that will be valid till the validity of the Philippines RT license ( which is till 2016 )

3. Give both part 1 and part 2 and obtain the RTR A license which is valid for life ( after paying 10,000 rupees )
That way you dont have to worry about the validity of the foreign CPL or foreign RT every few years
No need to visit the WPC as well for the rest of your life

I have a thread here on the Process for the WPC RTR A exams . Please go through it

P.S : You cant apply for an Indian RT using the Indian CPL and FRTOL . Primarily because these two documents need a valid Indian RT to be issued in the first place

The earlier you renew the RT the better because no operator can hire you without a valid RT license
