Dear All,

I request you do kindly throw some light on my case. Here is the story

I had applied for Express enter last year with my passport validity more than a year. I got selected in the pool and completed my process within the given time. I also got a verification call in March. I thought everything was going smooth. In April, I got a mail to pay my RPRF fee. I paid the same on that day. As of April, my passport was valid for more than 8 month. Thinking that the stamping would happen within the next week, I did not proceed with getting a new passport. As the weeks passed, i realised that I would not be able to make it to the 6 month cutoff for passport validity. So I hurriedly applied and got a new passport. I have updated the same on CIC via there online form. So far I only got a auto reply stating that I will get a response in maximum of 10 days. But its been more that 25 days since I have been awaiting a response

As long as you have raised a CSE on your passport renewal you are fine.
CIC is currently taking a longer time to acknowledge CSE-average of 45 days as reported in other related threads.
During PPR-you will still need to ensure your passport is valid for at least 12 months anyway.

Will there be some kind of an intimation that my new passport has been updated?

An update to the initial status

Review of additional documents:
We do not need additional documents
Earlier: The additional documents you provided have been uploaded
(This section came up when I paid my RPRF. The status has not changed since April 20)

Would this mean anything?
