I just got my PR approval on Jan 17th 2022 with protect person in Canada, PR application took 10 months.

I have a travel document I used it once so far to travel outside Canada but based on my experience I found it difficult and confusing when it comes to traveling with travel document, its hard to know which countries allow visitors with travel documents and also if you need visa.

I tried to contact some consulates like Mexico Bahamas UK USA Turks island etc... but sometimes you don't get a clear answer.

There is lack of information do you guys know any website or online tool which is accurate and updated to check ?

Thank you

I contacted the Mexico consulado. They say that once you have the PR card, then you do not need a visa. PR card and RTD is enough to enter mexico without a visa. As for USA and UK, you need to apply for a visitors visa, regardless of PR card. Someone else mentioned in a different thread that Bahamas requires a visa with the RTD.

It weird in 2015 I was on work permit here in Canada and I went with my national passport without visa, now that I'm protect person with travel document they told me I need visa It doesn't make any sense, I'm waiting until I receive my PR card and then travel with confidence.
