Hi there!
As a Permanent Resident with Protected Person status you will only be issued a Refugee Travel Document (the blue one) with a validity of 5 years instead of 2 years (since you're now a PR). The grey Certificate of Identity is only for persons with PR status (but are not refugees or protected persons) and for some reason out of their control they are not able to renew their country of citizenship's passport; i think stateless permanent residents can apply for it as well. So, as far as you're concerned you will be only issued the blue RTD, which is accepted in many more countries than the Certificate of Identity is, as some countries don't even recognize the Certificate of Identity.
Good Luck!

I’m holder of PR Card and I also Swedish PR. I entered to Canada with my Swedish travel document and I had applied for a Canadian travel document few months after I arrived to Canada I submitted my Swedish travel document with my application. After two weeks I got a letter that says I have right for A certificate of identity travel document not the blue travel document. I spent back the certificate of identity to the office because there is no country that accepts it when applying for a visa to Europe. I got back my Swedish travel document. My question is I have my home country passport with my but it’s expired since 2018 I did know that I have to submit when I applied for Canada travel document because in an application, they say it’s only that submit the passport that you used to enter to Canada so that’s why I submitted my Swedish travel document not my home country passport. So wondering now if I applied again for Canada travel documents and submit both my passport Proof of my identity with my home country passport will I be able to get the blue travel document.
