Not because of the AOS application but for your own consideration you should renew your Canadian passport as soon as you can. You can do that from the States - here is the link to applying for a Canadian passport while living in the US: http://www.ppt.gc.ca/cdn/form.aspx?lang=eng&region=USA. You have a choice of waiting until it expires and renewing then without having to send the expired passport back, or applying before it expires, sending the valid one back and requesting it back so you still have it (highly recommended). Either way you will not be able to travel while waiting for it to be processed. Once your AP is processed you will be able to travel so you may wish to use the time waiting for the AP to renew your passport as well.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

I agree, I do plan to renew my passport in the next few days. I have done so by mail in the past and it was a relatively painless process. I think the rules are even more relaxed now. When I renewed previously I had to have an MD sign my photos and stuff. I don't think that is a requirement now.
