I believe it’s not an issue to apply with an expired passport (when not specified) so long as you clearly comment that you do not have any plan to travel. I know people that have done it in the past (for citizenship application). You probably didn’t comment on your travel plan and the reason you didn’t renew your passport before applying, which were the reasons she called you. You should be excited though, that tells you that things are looking good for you.Hello,
Today I received a phone call from CiC the lady on phone said that you know that your home country passport expired, do you have any plan to travel? I said no I have not any plan to travel due to COVID, she said ok. I asked her can this issue delay my application process she said no. Anybody in the forums have received such call from CIC, or they ask anybody for their passport expiry etc.
Your comments please thank you
