So essentially I got my ITA 3 weeks ago and I've been collecting the required documents since then! I only noticed that I've got 2 months validity left on my passport and I've already gotten my POFs with my current passport number and have booked a upfront medical with it! The question is will I be able to submit my application with this passport and then renew it after AOR and submit it through the IRCC webform? Is it something that anyone advises against it?
I've searched the official web pages regarding travel documents and it's kinda vague as quoted below! After some digging it seems like it should be valid through the whole EE process and sources stress on having 6 months validity for COPR!
"If you’re applying through Express Entry, you should renew your passport if it expires within 6 months from the day you apply for permanent residence. Then, update your new passport information in your application. This will ensure it’s valid when we process your application."
