UPDATE: I called today and they gave me a tracking number, the RTD was sent on Jan 28 and my brother received on Wednesday (but he forgot to tell me)

Friends, please reply if you can. Has anyone received their travel document after it was sent on December 4?

Yes, picked mine up on 24 Jan at Canada Post!

If you have not known an eligible guarantor for at least six (6) months, complete form PPTC 326, Statutory Declaration in Lieu of Guarantor for a Travel
Document, available at any Passport Program regional office or you can download the form here - https://www.notarypro.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/CLEAN-PPTC-132-03-2022-E_Statutory-declaration-in-lieu-of-guarantor.pdf

The form must be completed at your expense before a person who is authorized by law to administer an oath or solemn affirmation. However, they say this may delay the processing time of the RTD

Hello, could you please let me know where I can get the latest update of this form?

Thank you for your response.

Hi I got my PR, and my travel document is going to expire. There is still time left, but I want to renew it. Do I need to physically return my old travel document for the new application? Also, do I need a guarantor signature again?
Thank you

Yes if it’s still valid you need to send it with your application package. Yes you need guarantor.

How long it will take now for RTD processing?
They received my application on February 7th but the referenece number is not in the system yet.

I want to renew my travel document because it is almost expired. I’ve heard that lately, vacations have been a big issue. I mean, I'm not going to my own country, and I don't plan to; I've removed it from my life. But why is it a problem to go to other countries? If I renew my travel document now, they will see that I’ve traveled outside before for vacation. Is there a possibility that they won’t let me renew my travel document ?

I don’t know, after all, a passport is given so that we can go to other countries, not just our own. Maybe some people misused it, but not everyone is in the same situation.

You can’t use your home country passport or you risk losing your status in Canada. Do not renew your home country passport either.

I don't have a home passport anyway. I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about extending my refugee travel document. Because I got my PR.

There is nothing called renewing/extending the RTD. You have to apply for a new RTD, which is the same process as the first one.

You can travel either your travel document. No problem. Enjoy your life. I went to USA a few times and Bahamas. No issues. Just get the new one and enjoy your life.
