I am a refugee claimant from BC, applied in January this year; got the work permit and brown paper in February; nothing since then. I am planning to see my friend who lives in SK in June. Do you need refugee travel document for domestic flights? Is there any restrictions on domestic flights when your case is pending?

For domestic flight you don’t need that. Use your driving licence or photo Id. That’s enough.

Hello, I am suppose to send the previous RTD when applying new one but there is no option to indicate that I want my previous one back as I have visas in there. How can I apply to get it back? Also, there is only two lines to add visited countries since entry to Canada and not able to add additional lines. How can I indicate there is more that two?
Write a letter and attach it to our application- state all your relevant bio data for the application, add your request for them to return your other RTD w visas and add the info you want to add to the visited countries section in the letter. Sign and date the letter and send it with your application.

Hello Everyone

Does anyone knows about VISA free travel to following countries on Canadian RTD with PR card
- Malaysia
- Bangkok
- Taiwan
- Japan
- China or Hong Kong
- Singapore
- Istanbul
- Doha / Qatar

One more specific question about Emirates Airline
UAE countries ( Dubai / Abu Dhabi etc ) doesn't recognize Canadian RTD to enter in UAE
but can we use for layover in any of countries for 3-4 hours ( less then 8 Hours ) ?

If anybody has any idea or experience about the same will be highly appreciated.

Thank you
With RTD non of Above mentioned countries can be travel without proper visa issued by the relative embassy or consulate and most of above countries required PR card to issue visa on RTD.

Hi, I wanted to ask if anyone has traveled to Germany with a travel document. They said that a visa is not required. Do I need to fill out a form before going, or is the travel document enough?
You must carry few documents with you,
1- Travel Document
2- Confirm Hotel Booking
3- Insurance for entire period of stay in Germany.
4- Show money at least Euro 100 per day at least in cash.
5- Credit Card
immigration officer may ask any of above document as i had multiple trips to Germany and most of the time immigration asked me same documents.
