I am just about to renew and while my passport isn't full, 3 or 4 more full-page visa countries would do it!
Thanks

Yes, you will need to complete the simplified renewal form along with an explanation of why you're renewing 5 years early if you're mailing in your application. The letter is not needed if you're applying at Passport Canada offices. Then you'll go two weeks without a passport while you wait for your new one to arrive.
