Need to get a new Passport before PR - status IN PROCESS

[await]

Hi
I have extended my passport is valid to 2014. But it looks like I am running out of pages and might have to get a new one. Can someone please advice me on these few questions

1) Will a covering letter explaining the reason for getting new PP along with copies be enough to notify CHC?
2) Will this delay processing time further?

Many thanks,

You can apply for a new passport and after getting it can send to visa office the copy of the same along with the copy of the cancelled passport.  It does not affect processing time frames.

Hi shibuya,

Thanks a lot for the prompt reply. That sounds simple enough...

Best wishes...
