Travel Back to Canada with Indian Passport Validity less than 6 months

[muthusep28]

Hello All, I am a Permanent Resident of Canada. I have been living in Canada for 1 year. I want to travel to India and be back to Canada after two months. My passport expires in July 2022. By the time I travel back to Canada I will have 5 months validity left on my passport. I would like to know if the "6 month validity rule" is applicable to enter back to Canada with my PR still valid until 2024.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Everyone,

I'm not sure if is covered before but I wanted your help with one thing.

I've Indian Passport and am a Canadian PR holder. My passport is expiring in June 2022.

I'm traveling to India last week of February 2022.

My questions were:-

1. My passport won't be expired yet when i return back mid March so will I get any trouble coming back to Canada with just a few months of passport expiry date left?

2. If i renew my passport in India do I have to advise Canada Immigration about it or is my old Passport linked to current PR?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Harmit,

I'm in a similar situation now and would be helpful if I could know if you had any issues relating to passport validity in Canada or India and whether or not you got your passport renewed before your trip.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Nalina,

I did not face any issues with any immigration authorities or flight. My YYZ to Mumbai was British Airways and return was KLM. Although I have heard Air India causes issues but make sure before you book Air India. Other wise everything was smooth no questions asked regarding the passport expiry.
