Hi,
I'm filling out the documents for PGWP, and as for the national identity document in IMM5710, mine will expire in two months. So it will still be valid when I submit the application but will definitely expire sometime during the processing time which is 130 days rn. I'm a Chinese citizen, and as you know, there are border policies making it extremely hard to return and renew the ID. Has anyone ever applied with a national ID already expired or becoming expired in the process?
Thank you a lot!

1. CIC doesn't care about your National ID, you just need a valid passport.
