Canadian passports are valid for five years only and a new passport must be obtained upon expiry. This is in accordance with the Canadian Passport Order (SI/81-86) which governs passport issuance. So Canadian passport are not renewable, you will have to reapply. It usually takes thirty days.
If you need it in a hurry, urgent or express services are available for emergency or compassionate reasons on a case-by-case basis. These services are available only for those applicants who can apply for a passport in person at a Passport Canada service location. A valid reason for travel along with a proof of travel may be required.
Take care.
P.S. In case you're thinking of traveling to the US, you do not yet need a passport to travel to the US as long as you are traveling by land (car, bus, rail). It only required if you'll be traveling by air.

Lately, what feels like a lifetime. Be prepared for 3-6 months + delays, as everyone is now applying for one to comply with the new rule that everyone travelling to/through the US needs a passport.
You can never apply to renew too early, trust me!
