Passport Validity Question

[kangarooflyer88]

Hello,

My Canadian passport expires in about a year's time (September 19, 2023) and I have the following travel booked:

• Sydney to Christchurch in December
• Sydney to Auckland in January
• Sydney to Zürich (transiting Abu Dhabi) in April 2023
• Zürich to Canada in May 2023

I then plan on renewing my passport when I'm back in Canada in May. Checking online I see that I should be fine as New Zealand and Switzerland only require 3 months of validity after planned departure from country. Unsure about Australia but even if it is 6 months that should be fine since my last entry into Australia before heading to get my passport renewed is January 2023.

Whilst I can certainly get my passport renewed here, I would prefer to get it renewed at a specific Passport Canada back in Canada so I don't have to go through all the red tape with US CBP to fix my travel documents.

Am I missing anything here?

Sounds like it’s a question on Canadian rules. Presumably so long as your passport is still valid, they’ll let you board the plane from ZRH to Canada?
