My Copr has expired, i am awaiting extension from IRCC. However, my passport is expiring in Feb 2021. We plan to travel around end of November or december first week as these are the timelines we have applied to IRCC for. Now with my passport expiring in 3 months, will I have issues travelling to Canada. Also, would i face any issues with airlines or transiting country?

Hi Hasleen, did you have problems at your transiting country with 3 months of passport validity?
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 @azboot,
I read that Air India is causing issues so I avoided that airline. I travelled with British Airways and return was KLM thanks to United Airlines canceling my flight leaving me hanging to pay double the fare for another airlines last minute.
I did not have issues at all with airlines or at any immigration / customs.
Hello, I am traveling in Jan coming back in Feb , and my passport expires in June. It looks like I am in similar situation as yours, so wanted to check how was your experience? As far as I understood as well, because I am in Indian Citizen travelling to India, India should not have obligation of 6 month passport validity. I was more concerned on if I can come back to Canada and it looks like it does not apply for PR holders. Even for visitor visa it says its strongly recommended to have 6 month validity but Canada does not enforce it, if it is less than 6 month they will still allow you to enter but can stay less than 6 month until the passport expires. Appreciate how did your experience go, and what airlines you travelled with, if they created any trouble for you to board the flight to Canada or any problem in immigration once you landed in Canada?
Can you share your experience please? My flight is with United airlines and my son's Passport is going to expire in Aug'23 (less than 6 month).
I ended up renewing my Indian passport while I was in Canada just to be on safe side. I did a walk-in at BLS centre (as getting appointment takes a while) and I believe I received my new passport in less than a month.
I'm in the same situation,
Canadian PR
Want to travel to india with indian passport with validity 5 months
Will there be any issue that i will face?
Dont have enough time to renew the passport.
Anyone?

From Canada to India: No issue.
From India to Canada: as somebody already mentioned in the thread that it won’t have any issue with PR holders. 6 months rule comes in the situation with Visitor Visa (that seems logical to me that’s why I am referring it otherwise I really don’t know and I’ll be travelling back to Canada in April)
