Hello everyone,

My PR card is valid but my passport is expiring in 5 months. I don't have time to renew my passport and I was wondering if the expiry date of my passport can cause any problem?

Thanks

No issues unless you plan to travel.

I am currently in my home country and want to travel to Canada soon. Am I good to go or I need to renew my passport first? Thanks again
You will need a passport to travel, yes.

But you can travel with your existing one before it expires and then renew in Canada.

It won't matter that it's short dated as long as not past the expiry date.
