get new passport or PR first?

[ravisantwani]

my passport is expiring on dec 23 2013
my medical was done on dec 12 2012
my pcc is ready, awaiting fbi report, expected next week.

should I submit pcc, fbi report & existing passport for PR stamp
or should I get new passport in tatkal and then submit for PR stamp

what is better?

see the timing that when you land in Country, you passport should have validity of 6 months.

I think you should have enough time! But like HarrySingh said, if you haven't gotten any news by June, you should get a new passport!

If you end up deciding to get the new passport prior to PPR, contact CIC in advance to find out what you are required to do when you receive it! If you don't, it could cause problems.
