Hello,
I recently submitted an application for express entry on October 30, 2019. My passport expires on July 15, 2020. I was stupid and did not think about passport renewal before submitting my application. I was hoping someone on the forum has gone through the scenario where they had to renew their passport after submitting the application.
My questions are:
1) Should I renew my passport now? If so, how shall i inform IRCC about my passport change? I dont see a way to update my passport information on the express entry application now.
2) Should i wait until i get PPR , send them my old passport for stamping and then renew the passport?
3) Should I withdraw the application and start all over again after getting the new passport?

While i can't point to a thread off the top of my head but this is a fairly common problem. Search around on the forum and you will get the answer. If I remember correctly you can just renew your passport and let them know through the CSE (webform). I don't think it will affect your application in any way. Worse comes to worst it might get delayed a bit due to extra processing.
3) I don't see the need to withdraw the application.
