Hi,
Your passport must be valid for 6 months atleast and moreover in this situation it's very difficult to say.

Assuming travel restrictions are lifted, from Canada's perspective, yes, you can travel. Canada does not have a requirement for a passport to have 6 months validity. However, check with the airline, as they may ignore that and not let you travel.

If the airline allows you to travel, expect CBSA to issue you a short stay Visitor Record due to the expiring passport.
