I'm international student in Canada.
I'm visiting my family outside Canada for one month.
My Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) will expire on 1st of July 2019
Can I make my return exactly at the expiry date of my TRV (at 1st of June 2019)? or I should return at least one day before expiry?
My passport will be valid for less than one month by then so is that an issue also?

Notation: My study permit is valid for more than one year. It is just the TRV that will expire at 1st of July.

Your stay could be limited to your passport expiry date. You would want to get a new passport + travel with both passports

Thanks a lot for your reply.
Is that mandatory?
My passport would be valid by the time of entry and I can renew it as soon as I arrive in Canada and get a new one before the expiry date of the old.
The only point is the entry.
Will they refuse my entry at the border because it is the expiry date of TRV or because passport is valid for less than one month?
 
They will limit your stay to the expiry of your passport. That is a very common occurrence. It may not be mandatory but it's common.

No one can say if they will allow you entry. Arriving with a passport with less than a month's validity AND a TRV that expires that day look like massive red flags to me, despite the study permit.

Thank you for your answers.

I just thought that there is no minimum passport validity in Canada as in CBSA website they only mention that passport and visa should be valid.
Also, these posts confirm this assumption

https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-i...h-passport-expiring-in-less-than-6mth.299128/

But probably one month passport validity is the minimum period to ensure entry without problem?
Also, if I renew the passport and used the old passport to show TRV, will they deny entry just because it is the TRV expiry date?
 
There is no minimum rule but they will not admit you for longer than your passport is valid because they will be concerned that you will not have a passport with which to leave the country, thus having you stuck in Canada. Just because you can apply to renew it while you are in Canada is not a guarantee that you will.

It would be like a hotel registering a guest without a hold on a credit card or prepayment.

You should not have been issued a study permit beyond the expiry of your passport. That was a mistake.
