Hi Chris, thanks for sharing your thought. Same as you, I’m a Permanent Resident here in Canada, planning to take a vacation this coming October to the Philippines. My passport validity is on April 25, 2018 which is still valid upon my arrival there in the Philippines in terms of 6 months validity rule. My worry is, I’m coming back by 1st week of November which is beyond the 6 months validity. I’m checking online as I’m planning to renew it in the Philippines but could not get a slot for a 7-day passport processing. Can I still come back here in Canada without any hassle in Philippine immigration?

I actually didn’t have any problems with my soon-to-expire passport. 🙂 and that’s because of the Permanent Resident status that I have. So the 6-month rule doesn’t apply to me. I’ve thought about renewing my passport in Philippines but they have a new system now that you have to book an appointment online and when I tried, it was fully booked for the next 2 months.

In reply to Joshua V. It is necessary if you want to come back in Canada in the future. The application has no fee.

I’ve not yet renounced my residency. Is that necessary?

In reply to Joshua V.. I hope you don't mind me asking if you have renounced your permanent residency. Additional information can help in finding the right answer.
