So We are waiting for my husbands refugee travel document and we travel this Saturday it’s our first family vacation and going anywhere since we came to Canada, we sent the application March 25 2024 ,2 weeks ago I called to get an update because I was getting worried and they told us that a letter was coming in the mail notifying us about sending in two new passport photos because my husbands original ones weren’t good. we sent it the same day by express mail. I asked for help from my local MP that same day as well and his office case worker emailed me right away and she’s been calling everyday and she gives me more detailed information than the agent (we have been calling IRCC everyday ) That was the 24th of April, it’s now the 30th and we were told by the caseworker the RTD was approved yesterday the 29th and will be sent soon. She said she would call today to push them since we travel in a few days. Today we called IRCC they said it’s still in process and in the final stage, and flagged as urgent, moments later I get an email from the caseworker that the RTD was being printed out , she’s calling again tomorrow to push for them to send it. I have been stressing for 2 weeks now, my husbands never been anywhere and it’s our first family vacation . Does anyone know once it’s being printed out if it’s sent out the same day? How long does it take by mail? I was told they send it by x press mail with Canada post.
