Refugee status cessation and PRs applying for citizenship

[abff08f4813c]

hiiiii pls help me
I’m a Convention Refugee in Canada. A few years ago, I applied for a Refugee Travel Document (RTD), but it took too long to process. While waiting, I used my home country’s passport to travel. Eventually, the RTD arrived after about a year, but I lost it.

At the time, I didn’t realize how serious it was to use my home country’s passport as a refugee. Now I understand it could impact my protected person status, and I really regret doing it.
Later on, I applied for Canadian citizenship. During that process, I submitted a webform informing IRCC that I had changed my travel plans and returned to my home country. My citizenship application was then cancelled. It’s been about four months since then, and I haven’t received any notice from IRCC about cessation or loss of PR status.
I’m still a permanent resident living in Canada. I have not reapplied for citizenship since then because I’m afraid it might trigger a review or put my status at risk.
I want to know

1. Can I still reapply for an RTD?
2. Can I renew my PR card?
3. Can I still travel in and out of Canada right now?

Has anyone been in a similar situation? Should I talk to an immigration lawyer?
Any advice is appreciated. Thank you.

You definitely need to talk to an immigration lawyer.

Where did you travel to that time?

But did you actually travel to your home country this time (this was a separate time than above, right? Using what document? Who cancelled your citizenship application? How did you find out about this?

You should speak to a lawyer. While you can still 'do' all of the above, hard to say what risks there are. There's a lot going on here and the details matter.

If keeping PR status in Canada is important to you . . .

I agree with both @armoured and @abff08f4813c but the main thing, as @abff08f4813c put it right up front, is you definitely need to talk to an immigration lawyer.

As @armoured noted, from what's happened to what's happening, what your options are and what the risks are, there are several details that matter. The particular reason why your citizenship application was "cancelled," for example, probably says a lot about the situation. And, whether you actually traveled to your home country is really important, hugely important. BUT the main thing is it looks like this is well past the stage where a forum like this can offer much that will help you make decisions or even illuminate what your situation is . . . you need to talk to a lawyer, a lawyer you pay (or perhaps is available through some organization assisting refugees or such) to go over your situation in detail.

You posted previously and got a lot of replies previously. You need to talk to a lawyer before you do anything else. That is your next step, as we advised your previously.
