Hope someone can help me understand this, i dont know what to do.

I am currently in Canada, under an extended stay tourist visa.
I am planing to send my PR application for common law this month, the application is to Paris, which says aprox 8 months plus the 47 days of the step1.

My passport expires on June 2015. Which means its just on the month that i might get the permanent residency or it might expire before that.
I saw on CIC page it says:

A permanent resident visa is issued for a period not exceeding the earliest expiry date of the following documents:

the medical results for you and your family members or
your or your family members’ passport.

What do I do? Anyone has been in this situation???? Can i send the PR application with this passport?

Does anyone know what option i have? As far as i understand since im in Canada as a visitor im not allowed to renew my passport here, if it expires and i need to travel i can ask only for a temporary passport ...if i go to my home country seems i cant renew it if it still has more than 6 months on it.

Im really hoping this is not an issue but im freaking out..can someone please help me??? Thanks!

No need to freak out. Just send the app with your current passport details. You can very easily update the app with a new passport later on.
