just wanted to share this info ..
I went for Hajj last year 2014 and in our group there was an elderly lady who carries a Canadian RTD .. she was able to obtain the hajj visa and the only small problem we faced was in Doha airport (transit) in our way back to Toronto, the boarding counter had to do few calls as she didn't have a PR card , but finally they said it's ok and let her board ..

So it's mean Saudi Arabia allows people with travel document to perform hajj or umrah. Amazing.

But none of the Gulf States accept Travel Document in lieu of a Passport, as a Law.

Hi everyone,

I know for sure that none of the UAE states recognize Canadian RTDs.
My question is, how about traveling by Qatar, Etihad Airways or Emirates? Do they allow transit through their airports with canadian RTD?
I want to go to Thailand from Toronto. Anyone has experience with this?

Thank you!
