Hi all,

My visa is expiring on 24th July 2023. I am planning to visit India on Jan 3rd, 2023, and return flight is on Jan 25th, 2023.

I have the renewed Indian passport for next 10 years.

Do I need to have minimum 6 months visa validity to re-enter Canada?

I assume you are asking about the validity of the TRV stamped in your passport.

If so, the answer is no, you do not need to have 6 months of validity on the TRV to re-enter Canada. Technically you can re-enter on the very last day of validity (although not recommended). If you are re-entering on Jan 25th and your visa expires July 24th, you are more than fine.

Thank you so much for the clarification

This rule mentioned by most countries is for the passport validity for at least 6 months not visa validity.
