    Hi Kim -
    as much as I know you passport MUST be valid for at least six months following your program end date. I guess for the case that you get sick or want to extend ... Don't you have enough time to get a new one? When do you leave?

    oh, I see - well, here in germany you can keep your passport while the new one is being processed. but do not worry, I do not think you will get in trouble. especially where you are from canada - I do not think they will make a big fuss about it. do you not have somebody you can call and ask? agency or sth?

    sure - no problem! ;D I know how it is to feel totally helpless and totally confused! But call someone - like that you will not have to worry until you are at the airport! ;)

    in the uk u can pay for special deolivery/premium service on ya pasport - u can travel to the office and get it done with same day/next day return of it but its expensive.

    ai know it says we haveto have 6 months on our passports after our return date.

    with the new passports tho u no longer lose the unusued days - before ur passport would be valid from the time u received it for 10 years now its 10 yeards plus whatever amount of time was unused on ur last one which is handy

    My passport expires under the 6 month limit thing (though mine is in January 08, which is 5 months). I asked Castaway about this and they said it would be no problem, so I think you should be fine.

    If you're really in doubt, you can always call / email Castaway and see what they have to say.

    yeah, it's worrying, I had to get my new passport in the UK because it would only have 4 months left on it lasting to october 2008 and i needed longer. they take our passports from us and clip them so you can't use them anymore. plus with the new passport style anyway, everything is more strict.

    i know that anyone from the UK on anything, program or a holiday, if they don't have it with 6 months extension then they won't get in to the country. i thought it was for all countries but that might not be true! maybe they're kind to their neighbours ;)

    The regulations between Canada and the US are different between the US and everywhere else. The visa they've given us isn't an actual visa, and we don't get a passport stamp either. No embassy visit either :D

    FYI passport regulations for Canadians going to the U.S. by sea or Air: it only has to be valid for the duration of your stay in the U.S. there is no requirement for it to be valid for 6 months, 3 months or even 1 day beyond your return date. Also a passport is not require at land border crossings until next January (2008). Hope you find that useful.
