Hello folks,

I need to travel to Canada on May 26, but my passport expires on May 27. I currently live in the US and already applied for a new passport through my consulate, but they told me it may take a few weeks to arrive.

The consulate suggested that I could travel to Canada first with my current passport and then wait there for the new passport to arrive by mail. Do you see any potential issues with this plan? I’m mainly worried about airline staff (United) or Canadian border officers having concerns about such a short validity period on the passport. I have the official document that says that I have applied for renewal.

Thanks!
