Yes you can renew your passport. Just inform CIC of this when you get it. There will be no issues as people have done it all the time.

Thankyou Screech 39 for your reply..I will be sending my passport for renewal soon and immediately when bill c6 get implemented I will apply with the expired passport March 2016. Do I have to explain in the application that I am in process in renewing my passport and will send it the soonest after I get it..
Thankyou

There's no harm in informing them about renewing passport. They are only interested in your new passport when you get it so that they can update your file.

Many countries require passport applicants to submit their current/last passport with their application. Remember to take photocopies of your passport before sending it in for renewal. Another issue may be how long it takes to receive your new passport (and the old one) back. If you are called in for an interview before the passports are returned to you, you won't have a passport to show IRCC, and that may result in your citizenship application being delayed.
