Hi,
Here's my situation. I am a Canadian citizen living in the UK on a Residence Visa. My passport expires January 2012. I'm visiting home (Canada) leaving from the UK in August 2011. I don't have a lot of time to get my passport renewed in the UK, but I can get the process expedited while I'm in Canada. As far as I know, Canada does not have the six month validity rule that the UK has. My question is this: can I leave the UK on a passport with less than six months validity remaining? Will I be refused at border control? Will the airline refuse me?
Thanks for any help in advance. I'm in a bit of a tough spot as I don't have a Guarantor in the UK and the paperwork to bypass this takes far more time than I have.
Cheers,
Alex
