Thanks for the reply.
We have already submitted her passport back in July. Should we call new delhi office and ask them to return the passport? Since we both are in Canada, I guess we can submit it for renewal here in Canada. How long did the renewal process take in your husband's case?
No problem.
Call the passport office and ask them if they need the original passport for renewal or a photocopy of your wife's passport. If they are okay with photocopy one, you can provide that if you have one.
If the passport office needs the original passport, call the CIC office and let them know. Tell them that you need to renew your passport, expiring on March 2014. Ask them, if they can send your wife's passport immediately.
If you are sending your passport after renewal to CIC Delhi visa office, I believe you have to send both the old passport and the new passport.
My husband's renewal for his passport it took him 1 day.
Hopefully this help. Have a good day!
