UK Passport validity to enter with PR
Me and hubby are PR (since 2019) and travel back to the UK every six months.
We are planning on a trip in November, travelling back in early December.
His passport was issued in April 2023 with an expiry date of August 2023 due to rolling on of the last 6 months on his previous passport.
So, if we leave Canada in November, is would be OK to get into the UK as it is still valid, but do we need 6 months validity to get back into Canada?
Am I correct in assuming our "right to enter Canada" is based on our PR cards, the passport is really only for identity and getting on the plane at the airport?

Canada does not have the 6 month validity for passports.
