Hey,
I have received an invitation to apply under 'Federal Skilled Worker' program. My current valid Passport is due to expire in June 2023. I intend to get it renewed once I submit my application and update the passport information once I receive the renewed passport. This in accordance to the information published by IRCC at:
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/passport-travel-document.html, under the section “How long your passport needs to be valid” and subsection “Immigrating through Express Entry”.
I have two questions:
1) Is there any problem with applying using a passport bound to expire within 3 months of applying?
2) Can I submit an application to renew my passport before submitting my application for express entry? Or would submitting passport renewal application prior to submitting express entry application render my current passport invalid?
Thanks in advance for your time and effort!
