    Questions for wifes situation

    I believe she can ask for her passport back from IRCC once she is a PR (regardless of how she got PR). And there shouldnt be an issue with her traveling on it since she obtained it through spousal sponsorship.

    Refugee Travel Document - UK Visa

    I dont have personal experience with this. My guess is if they misspelt your name that is an issue but if you have a long/multiple names and they left out some of the additional names it wont be (I have a 5 part name and some airlines embassies leave out some of my middle names with no issue)...
