Canadian Passports To Europe

[The Cobra]

News to me that our Canadian passports actually expire(in effect) 6 mnths prior to the expiry date on the passport. So your 5 yr fee they charge you is only in actuality good for 4 yrs 6 mths as far...

Yeah I`ve been abroad a few times....never heard of the "law". Taylor booked everything himself...maybe if they used an agent they would have told them about the fine print stuff.
Top it off he had to rent a car in Toronto and drive home Sat nite.......Air Canada wouldn`t even get them a cut rate on a hotel.

I guess living in a border town Windsor/Detroit kinda spoils us here cause we go over so much for ball games, dinner etc...lots of times I forget my passport and just go with drivers license & birth cert etc. never had an issue.

That sucks Cobra :-(

I have heard of it before - when someone in my family went through it. They said the passport is not expired - they just want to see at least 6 months on your passport in case you decide to stay. As Canadians I think we can only stay in US or abroad for 6 months and then have to return home - thus this 6 months crap.

Yeah it sucked all right.............but once again...thanx to the authorities and people in Portugal booking everything it wasn`t a total loss.
My son indicated that all the Canadians involved were interested in was keeping his cash and not making any effort whatsoever in assisting him with travel etc.
