I'm not suggesting that. But taking extra steps to have an outdated passport? Just unnecessary. Not that you'll have any problems since you're and LPR and have a PRC anyway, but still .
Why do you assume I'm being difficult? I don't like any type of encoding on my document...I don't want my movements tracked or encoded on my passport. There is nothing difficult about it - it's either valid or invalid.

When I get a passport with a RFID chip, rest assured I will destroy the chip inside and make it unusable.
