Yes I know I should have looked at expiration dates before booking.
My son just turned 18. His passport expires at the end of September. Haven’t travelled in 3 years, his father renewed his passport the last time so I lost track. Shared custody situation. Anyhow I booked a cruise to celebrate his 18th birthday on August 6 2022 for us and extended family. Realized today he needs a new passport for this cruise😩. So today went to Service Canada to bring all the necessary documents. The lady took his application and documents but told him he would not get it before the cruise, that he had to go to the passport office on July 28 for an emergency passport. Problem is on the 28th it’s his grandfather funeral 900 km away (and 700km away from any passport office). Any suggestion would be appreciated! You can also scream at me for my bad planning.
