I booked to go to Vegas in June, my passport is expiring in October. I was going to head to Service Canada to renew my passport next week but it looks like theres the strike happening. Would I still be ok to travel with my passport at this time? What are your recommendations? TIA!

Renew it. Not worth getting declined

Natalie you can’t sadly because of strike they aren’t processing any renewals.

If the strike is long, you might not get it back in time. I believe they’re only doing what’s considered urgent/emergency applications/renewal right now. Your passport is valid, you shouldn’t have any trouble.

From what I've read, it's not a full walk out, but I also don't believe it will last very long. Hold off for a week and see what happens. If it's just a renewal, it won't take that long to get your new one.

Scott The passport office is closed in Canada Place. It is a general strike.

You are fine, we just travelled with a passport that expires in 3 months and had zero issues .

We just travelled with my sons passport expiring in May!
We went to California and had no issues - we even crossed the border into Mexico with no issues either direction.
My son is 14. Not sure if that makes any difference

Krisztin it doesn’t. Some people just are natural worriers. I would never renew my passport 6 months prior, they get enough of my money. I want my full $$ worth. ( I do know there are some places that require it and of course would oblige if I absolutely had to )

They are saying if it is not for work or emergency reasons it will not get renewed

Similar to Mexico, the U.S. is one of the 42 countries where a Canadian passport technically just needs to be valid for the duration of your stay (Canada is one of the countries with an exemption for U.S. entry). That being said, there is a small risk that you will run into someone along the way who isn't familiar with this rule.

Stats Mj

Better go support those strikers and get them back to work. Public support helps. Especially with elections comming

Christin yes, we all need an 18% raise due to inflation not just PSAC

It depends on who you get at the airport that day. My friend got declined to travel to New York because hers was expiring with in 6 months.

You'll be ok. With the strike, I would submit anything right now.

I suspect they will be legislated back to work in short order and / or reach an agreement. Doubtful this will last long

Your fine. Millions do it. The ones that say don’t are the worry warts. You passport must be valid for the duration of your trip. You have 4 months so you’ll be good. Besides you won’t be getting a passport until this strike is over

You are fine!! Renew when return

Passport valid until October
