Emergency passport- does Canada accept it?

[mira_johnson]

My relative is visiting Canada as a tourist only and recently found out her passport is expiring, she is traveling to Canada in one week. Since it might be too late to apply for a normal passport at this point, will Canada accept an emergency passport? Many countries do, but certain do not, such as USA.. I cannot find any information online about this. Can anyone guide me?

What is the validity of her TRV? Or does she have an eTA?

She will apply for an eTA but cannot without a valid passport

She will apply for an eTA but cannot without a valid passport

She needs to apply for a valid travel document i.e. a passport that carries full passport services. She can then apply for an eTA linked to the new passport.

Emergency travel documents are intended for a single trip in case of dire emergencies. Even Canadians who avail/seek Emergency Travel Documents when they are abroad must surrender these Limited Validity Travel Documents on arrival at the POE and they will go through secondary checks for immigration

Agreed. Emergency travel documents are designed to get you home in cases where you no longer have your passport. They aren’t intended to be used to travel out of the home country for vacation purposes. I suspect CBSA would refuse them entry for anything other than transiting to their home country.

Agreed.

I suspect the OP's relative will not be issued an eTA to start with
