It's better to have a valid passport at all times whether you're applying for Canadian citizenship or not. If you are worried about sending a copy of your new passport after sending in your application to IRCC, then it's wiser to have it renewed first before you apply. In that case, IRCC will have a copy of your new passport. Cheers.
