Hello, I have been waiting for my RTD for more than a year!!

They received my application on July 21, 2022. Until now, I have not received any updates or estimated processing times. I have sent many web forms asking about it and they replied to me with the same generic response that my application is being processed.....
I dont know what to do anymore, I have sent urgent processing request as well but no luck.

If anyone has any suggestions, please!!

Hi there...

I was in the same boat as you. Trust me the pain and frustration around all of this is beyond understanding.
My personal experience was like... i applied last year August but i received nothing less than your application is in process.
Than someone in the forum advised me to cancel my application "write a letter with all the references send it via Mailpost_Canada... you need to let them know you are canceling for RTD" as you are probably waiting for ur PR !!!(be careful you will loose the money of that application) and wait 3 days to 1 week and apply for RTD again !!!
In 3 or 4 weeks !!! You might receive it.
Please : avoid any delays - Good picture, signe all pages and for the guarantee person ? You can use a police oficer.

GOOD LUCK

Hi
My fiancé applied for the travel document on March 2022 and still he haven’t received it. I called and asked and they told me he didn’t submit the notice of seizure with the application but he doesn’t have it. Does anyone know how to get the notice of seizure or does anyone applied without it and got the travel document?

Hi...
I will answer you base on my own experience.
Webform are okey, but sometimes "agents" of IRCC work like robot and don't pay really attention of what the topic is inside.


I suggest you to write ✍ using a ink pen or word type document.
Name, surname, ur date of birth, email, phone number,date, ur email, irrc_IUC number.
And do not forget the object of that letter and the raison why you are canceling ur demande (the date you applied + your waiting period). And signe it at the end. Make a copy for you. You can send it via mailpost & via webform.

Count 3 days or 1 week. Submit a new demande. You can even call them to see if the filled it on your portal folder.

I did that (cancelation) after 2 weeks ! I received an acknowledged letter saying they received my cancelation demande. (But i didn't wait for that acknowledged letter)
I did apply for a RTD.
After 30 days ! I received it.

I am writing because I am really frustrated, having been waiting for the RTD (Refugee Travel Document) for more than a year. I have a return envelope with it for me to track it when it's issued. I called last week and was told that the RTD was returned (they did not use my envelope) because I did not claim it from the post office. I did not receive the delivery notice from Canada Post; my mail is usually misplaced by them. It's a hopeless case because I complained multiple times and it keeps happening until today. I have the IRCC four times since last week and they told me the officer did not do anything yet. I sent a web form today. I would greatly appreciate any advice. Thank you

Hello Guys, i applied to renew my RTD, but they sent me a letter asking me about my country of persecution which they already know because i have RTD before and the application form clearly states my country of Nationality which is also in the old RTD and stated there that i cant go to my country with my old RTD, yet they are still asking me about my country of persecution, which is very strange. Does anyone know why they are asking for this? I will wait for your response. Thanks
