Hi,
My Canadian citizenship application is in process. I have completed my test. In the mean time, I have renewed my home country's passport. The old passport with which I applied my citizenship, recently expired. My home country allows me to have dual citizenship. I did my application online. '

Do I need to inform IRCC about the new passport while the citizenship application is in process?

Thanks in-advance.

You can, but you don't have to.
IRCC only cares about your 5 years eligibility period and the new passport falls outside it. Feel free to do it, but it should have no effect on your application whether you notify them or not.
