Hello everyone,

I should apply for a visitor visa for canda in order to attend to a conference there. The conference is on 25th to 3rd of August. My passport is valid for that duration of time but it finishes on mid of december (so less than 6 months). I don't know what is the minimum amount of months my passport must be valid in order to be eligible for applying for the canadian visitor Visa.

I could also not find this inform ation on the official website. I hope there is someone who can help me with this.
Many thanks in advance

Hi

There is no minimum passport validity requirement.

It is best if you get a new passport before you apply for a TRV
