    Refugee Travel Document - Questions and Answers

    I don't know a single person which got their status revoked because of traveling back home. Yes, it was risky during Harper's government but I don't believe CIC will exercise that power now. However, I personally will never risk going back home till I get my citizenship. We sacrificed a lot and...

    Refugee Travel Document - Questions and Answers

    I'd say Iran/Jordan/Turkey are all good options for your family. Turkey is probably the best for you for cheaper / direct fly from Canada.

    Refugee Travel Document - Questions and Answers

    I also emailed them. Hopefully they change the rules. It doesn't make any sense all good European countries accept this except Spain and Iceland. I mean, Iceland is no better than Norway, Finland, Sweden which accept our RTD. Iceland show some respect :D

    Actually, I have done the finger print so it is in their record. I don't need to pay $80 either as we are exempted from that but just pay the courier company fees. Thanks for the info.

    DO NOT POST SUBJECTS LIKE "URGENT HELP" "PLEASE HELP" ...

    If you want to post something here and get a reply, try to be a little meaningful in your wording. If you want people to open your subject and reply, saying "urgent help" will not get anyone's attention. Try to put some words together that give an impression of the issue so if someone knows the...

    Port of Entry claim without travel documents

    I am sure you can apply in land without any document BUT if you can proof your identity that would make your application much smoother. Also bear in mind if you get here illegally you might end up in jail or detention centre. I know a guy from Algeria who arrived here by a ship from Europe and...

    Can I start a private sponsorship if someone's refugee claim was denied

    Wish I knew the answer but I am not sure. Best would be to ask a lawyer or one of free consultant offices in your city. But, I don't think the sponsorship works for the cases they are in Canada specially as their refugee status was not recognised which means Canada did not accept them as refugees.

    Hello, You traveled to Norway with RTD? Norway and Iceland do NOT accept RTD. I'd love to go to these two countries. Can you tell me how you went there? Which country did you get your Schengen visa from and if you told them you are going to visit Norway? This is very important. Thanks

    7 years as a Refugee? When will i get my PR

    You don't sound to be from one of the dangerous countries in the world as your brothers could come to Canada one by one so maybe that's the delay. I am from Iraq and have been in Canada since 2010 and a Refugee since 2011 but still no PR!! At least you have a family here. Best of luck.

    an error on my work permit form. what should I do?

    If it is the application, I don't think you need to do anything. They already have your file with all documents which has your correct name. So don't worry. Regarding work, everything is lined to SIN so as long as you can get or have a SIN all will be good. To double check, you can always go to...
