Hi Mazi,
You could have problems there. From what I can see on the u35 Website, your Passport has to be valid for your entire stay in Canada. So If you applied for your second year, they will refuse it because your passport would be expired before your Visa. Im in the same boat. My first Visa is up in July 2012, but my Passport is up in June 2013. So Im applying to get my Passport renewed in nxt week or so to be on the safe side. Hope that helps.
