Application in Process = Passport Expiring in 6 Months

[Eaglesidhu]

Hello everyone

My application under CEC is currently in process from more than 6 months now. My passport is expiring in December 2025. Do I renew my passport proactively or wait for any update on application?

I read somewhere that Passport should be valid for at least 6 month throughout the processing of application. Seeking your advice.

Have you looked into passport renewal options while in Canada? It can often take some time so it may be a good idea to start the process now.
