Today I completed the whole application to sponsor spouse to Canada. After 127 proof-reads I have everything perfect and am confident that all will go well.

Then I realize that my husband’s passport expires in March 2019 (today is August 2, 2018 FYI). So next month he has 6 months validity on his Mexican passport.

Do we have to renew his passport before we apply?

He is living in Canada with myself and our 2 daughters.

I would like to apply this week if I could so I am reeeeeeally hoping this won’t delay us, at least not by too much.

If you know the best course of action, I would be grateful. Thank you :)

No, he does not need to renew it before he applies, but he should renew it ASAP.
