Question

I have only 4 months left on my passport and will be going to Canada for 3 days,do I need to renew it?

Answer 1

If i were you i would call the canadian consulate to find out.i know that france and italy require you to renew if you only have 6 months left.  

Answer 2

Well, until June 2009, you don't even need a passport to go to Canada. You do need a birth certificate though and other ID. So if you are going soon to Canada and you are from the USA, then you are fine. I would renew it though as soon as you come back.

Answer 3

If you are entering Canada via a LAND crossing (driving), you technically do not need a passport until at least June, 2009.  If you are flying from the States into any Canadian city, a VALID passport is required for the duration of your stay as you will need it both entering Canada and re-entering the U.S.

For a land crossing, the following documentation is presently required:

(1) valid government issued photo ID, such as your driver's licence, and

(2) your original birth certificate.

Not one or the other but both.

Hope this helps.

Answer 4

No, it only needs to be valid thru the period of your visit.
