Hi everyone,

I applied for citizenship in August of 2018. In February of 2019 I travelled to my country for 4 weeks and renewed my country's passport! I am now invited to take the test. I am panicking as I am thinking what if I was supposed to inform IRCC about this passport renewal and I didn't?! Any insights appreciated.

I called and asked IRCC about the same thing. In my case, my passport was renewed after i submitted the application and i still have not received the test invite yet. I asked if they need to update my new passport details, and they said no.

In your case, i suggest you should take the old passport with you to view the stamps ...etc and take the new one just in case. These are my own thoughts based on what i read and learned.

Best of luck

No need to inform them, just bring all your passports to the interview if you want to be safe. They will only ask for the ones with all your travel history up until the time of your application, the new passport is irrelevant

Thanks very much every one. Such a relief! I should stop overthinking.
