Dears,

I am planning to apply for Canada Citizenship as met all criteria recently. However, my Indian passport has expired last month and yet to apply for renewal.

As I understand, we need to provide all passports we held in the last 5 years but not a mandatory requirement to have an active passport when applying for Canada citizenship.

Is my understanding correct? Or shall I wait for my renewed Indian passport before applying for Canada citizenship but this may delay the process by couple of months?

Thanks for your time and any guidance in advance.


Regards,
AK
