read page 1 and 2 of the link...find the PPR format for FSWO being processed at Ottawa there...Ottawa will always ask for 6 months passport validity
as suggested earlier once you email Ottawa regarding VO change...they will redirect to NDVO...now if NDVO asks for a years validity on new PPR, then there might be a delay...so get the passport renewed at the earliest and inform CPC-O...that's my suggestion
POF has nothing to do with security...don't worry about security...security checks involve CSIS, CIA Interpol and other intelligence agencies basically to find out if you are a major league criminal and whether you have human rights violations etc...
im pretty sure sumit you aint like that... ;D
POF would have been verified otherwise you would not have made it thru eligibility...
Peace!!
hope this helps!
Thanks again bro for the assistance. Well you know waiting sometimes make the man go Cukoooo

I think I am over stressing myself and will just few steps back and relax and let the time do its tale.
And regarding security I was just being paranoid I think, though have been an law-abiding citizen wherever I went

Now, regarding passport renewal, I am booking my appointment for next week and normal timelines say 14-15 working days, though I can go express service and get it within 4-5 days but I am thinking I will be OK till Mid Nov as only after that I am really hoping for PPR.
So, could you tell me what will be normal steps in case of passport renewal like how should I be intimidating CIC for my passport renewal? Is it via email or through my CIC account??
Again waiting for your reply, our Messaiah !!!
