Less than 6 months passport validity

Depends entirely what the airline will accept.

Note, when you say 'layover', or 'transit', I'm assuming this is not leaving the international/transit section of the airport. If you want to leave the international zone or go into the city, you have to enter via passport control. Whether France lets you in or not with a short-validity passport is entirely up to ... well, France.

Not to mention that for certain passports, a transit visa is required by some countries even if remaining airside.

Using the example here, an Indian national traveling from Canada to India via France would require a transit visa from France.

Correcting myself here: an Indian national who is also a PR of Canada does not need a transit visa for France.

My understanding is no transit visa is needed for individuals holding any visa to Canada, including Indians.

But again - check with the airline. This info doesn't work if the airline doesn't let you board.

I checked with the airlines (Air France)and they say if your country of destination allows to you enter within 6 months of passport validity they don't have an issue.

Then as above should not be an issue - for Canada, a PR will be admitted, regardless of PR card validity remaining (although airlines definitely won't let you on if PR card no longer valid).
