I haven't received ITA yet but am just writing to see if I have to renew my passport or not.

Mine is expiring in Dec 2018 and considering that it takes roughly 4~6 months after ITA, I won't be able to land at the border because of the "6 months policy"

However, if I get ITA in near future (currently sitting at 428) I don't need to get a new one since I will have 6 months to receive CoPR and 6 months left to land.

So my questions are:
1. Is it possible to change passport after I receive ITA? The passport number will be 100% different.
2. If I do "in-land" landing at local IRCC/CIC offices, do I still need 6 months left on my passport? I doubt it since I am not travelling internationally, but please let me know!

Thanks all!
