I have a PR application in progress but my passport is nearing its expiry date. I have submitted my passport for renewal, but due to my nationality, the process can take a long time.

I got a Request letter on April 8th asking me for an updated copy of my passport that I must submit by next week (April 15th).

Based on this link: https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1323, I believe my situation applies as obtaining this document at the moment is beyond my control.

I have prepared a LOE to explain my circumstances. I can post this letter here if that helps. However, I am wondering what the goal of LOE should be: should I ask for an extension? As in, what should my primary request be when writing this letter?

My passport renewal process involves sending my passport to an embassy in a different country, where they’d send the new one afterwards. I have the following supporting documents:
  • Passport Renewal Application
  • Proof of DHL Shipment
  • Proof of DHL Delivery

Thank you in advance.
