Passport validity

[singhsunil86]

Hi Guys,

I'm an Indian living in London, UK and have travel plans to visit Canada in May.
I have a valid Canadian temporary visitors visa and I've booked my tickets for 28th April - 06 May 2018.
Although my Passport is only valid uptil 06 Oct 2018.

I've been doing some reading and came across information that some country may require passport validity for up to 6 months - my return date just leaves me 5 months validity on my passport.
I booked my travel with AirTransat.

Though I could not find any information regarding 6-months passport validity on Canadian immigration board, I wonder if there is any requirement as such or if 6-months rule holds true for visiting Canada.

I've 3 weeks before my trip but I dont think that would be sufficient if I have to renew my passport from Indian embassy in UK.

Any information or clarity on this matter is gratefully received.
Thanks

Hi

Canada has no minimum passport validity requirement.

Thanks a lot.
I found this in UK Gov travel advise on Canada

Passport validity
Your passport should be valid for the proposed duration of your stay. No additional period of validity beyond this is required, but if your passport has less than 6 months validity remaining when you arrive in Canada it may take longer to pass through immigration control.
