Renew my Refugee Travel Document

[jack.cle113]

Hello guys,

I just have one question about renewing my refugee travel document.
I got my refugee status in 2015 and PR status in May 2016. I heard that refugee cannot travel with their home country passport, so I applied for RTD in 2015 and it will expire on June 2017. I have applied for US visa and successfully got it on my RTD. But I need to renew my RTD in order to get into the US because they require that the passport's validation must be longer than 6 months. Will the old RTD return to me with the renewed one? Because I have us visa on it.

Thanks for your patience and help!

I am just answering based on general knowledge. Best person to ask is Passport Canada.

But I am afraid you can't have 2 valid travel documents issued to you by the same country (in this case 2 RTDs). However, they can send it back to you if it is expired. One more thing, if you request, they can just send you the page with US visa stamp. However, I am not sure if that works for crossing the border. Maybe ask US Embassy.

I would love to know the correct answer. So please update us if you get the right answer.

Have you got your PR yet? if not, that's why they gave you the five-year window

There is a special visa for going to do the umra. Not sure how hard with be to get the visa. Not sure if you can enter Bahrain with RTD.

Repeat the same process as you did for the first RTD.
