My question to you: My passport will expire in August 2021 (less than 1 year) and I am concerned about the passport renewal. What should I ideally do?
1) Get my passport renewed now and share my new passport details with IRCC through a webform
2) Sit tight and wait for PPR and COPR. Travel to Canada with the existing documents (in case my passport then has more than 6 months validity at that point of time
3) If the passport doesn't have 6 months validity at the time of PPR/COPR - apply for a new passport and submit both old and new documents for visa stamping and COPR
What you think would be the most efficient and straightforward approach without causing any additional delay to my application? Also, what do you think of where my profile stands in general?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
