Son's passport and identification

[charmainefrances]

Hello! Good day! The questions that I'm about to ask were probably asked many times but the threads are so long now that I cannot find the answers anymore.

Background:
My son is 17 years old, currently in grade 11. We are living in St. Albert, AB.

From what I read (and hopefully I read it right ) , We need to provide 2 identification cards. (one of which must have a photo) My son has his Driver's License and Alberta Healthcard, these are good enough right?

and then, my son's Philippine passport is expiring in September, Would that be a problem? We are going to Calgary to renew it in July and probably receive the new one in Sept. Should I wait for the new one before we apply or should I give it a go although his passport is expiring?

These are the two questions that I have at the moment. I hope you can help me with this

Thank you very much!

Yes, and there's no problem using a passport that soon expires and even an expired one.

Yep, a driving licence and a health card will do the trick.
And for the passport, no issue at all. Actually you can even submit an application with an expired one.
