Flying into Canada with an expired passport and a Green Card
Upvote:1
TIMATIC thinks your Canadian passport cannot admit you because it's expired. "Passports and other documents accepted for entry issued to nationals of Canada must be valid on arrival." Whether you would actually be turned away is another matter, but a cautious airline would be unwise to board you in violation of the clear instruction there.
However, TIMATIC goes on to say under the 'Passport exemptions' category, that you should be admitted with your Green Card: "Permanent residents of USA holding Permanent Resident/Resident Alien Card (Form I-551), arriving from USA or St. Pierre and Miquelon."
Therefore in my view you are in principle entitled to travel and enter Canada merely with your Green Card (although certainly bring along the Canadian passport as well). If you face trouble, ask for the agent in question to confirm the information in TIMATIC, under the passport exemptions category.
