    When exactly is it expiring? It should be enough time to get your Canadian passport by then I don't think you'd need to renew.

    oh for that I'm not sure 100% how many offices they have in the GTA but that only gets done between the test invite stage of the process. I'm not sure which stage you're in.

    December 2017 - Citizenship Applicants

    No they shouldn't change anything about your application. The system will just print out the most recent address when they send correspondence.
