You don’t need to renew your home country’s passport in order to apply for Canadian citizenship. You don’t even need to renew your PR card even if it’s expired and you’re not planning to go out of Canada.

You would apply based on your 5 years history! You would only need a new passport if you wish to travel; not for Canadian citizenship. Good luck!
