my one of friends is waiting more than one year.
Hi,
I sent the documents(Notice of decision, 2 photos, and form PPTC 190) as per their website on March 21st, 2023 to Gatineau by UPS next-day delivery with a tracking number. I had to make my doctor my guarantor because my lawyer's secretary told me that the lawyer stopped being a guarantor for the travel docs. I wasn't nervous at all after she said that because I have a very good term with my doctor and he didn't hesitate at all to be my guarantor and sign for me. There was this below question on their site when you start the application.
"When do you need the travel document?"
1. 30 business days or less
2. 31 business days or more
I selected the 2nd option "31 business days or more"
I received a notification on my door from Canada Post on April 9th to collect it from a particular local Canada Post near my house the next day after 1 PM and asked to bring a piece of my ID(I used my Quebec Driver's License). I went there and came back home with a smile and some happy tears.
Nice reading your story .. enjoy your flights and share with us your travel experience when you come back.
I remember that you told me 2 months ago that you would reapply. Anyway, congratulations
Ye I was going to apply I just couldn’t find money. Then I got call from them. They said ^we forgot to call you^ what a joke… my father passed away and I couldn’t see him last time. Whoever is responsible for late arrival, I ask God to find their trouble, frankly.
Thanks for your sharing.
Whats the best answer for these questions?
Do you have any valid travel document or passport from any country other than canada?
Have you, since your entry date of entry to canada, applied for a passport or travel document from your country of origin or citizenship?
No (provide detailed explanation)
If you have valid passport seized by IRCC you need to say YES. And you will explain why you can not hold this passport right now. (Check travel document application form, section K Citizenship and Travel documentation. First paragraph. Don’t forget to add notice of seizure from IRCCC.
Second question NO. And explain why. Because you are convention refugee and safety reasons you can not apply to get new passport or renew your passport, etc.
Thanks for answers.
Did you get your travel doc? How long did it take?
No problem. Yes I got mine. In a month. I applied 19 march I think and got it in a month. I hope you can get yours soon.
No problem. It was regular. I have a few friends they got in a month. Not urgent.
Hi, I said No to both of them because my passport was seized. I'm not sure if I was supposed to say Yes to the first question as another user mentioned Yes but I still got my RTD. From my understanding, it'll be No because it's not in your possession.
Thank you!
