ORIGINAL POSTER

HELP!

Passport issue.

I currently hold a business visa and work permit. I'm currently in Canada on holiday and will return to Thailand in the next day. I just realized that my passport is only valid until February 10th, 2020 - meaning less than 6-month validity. Can' t believe I missed that. Will they refuse me even if I have the above with me?
