Once you have your hearing's done, you will get an answer yes or no. If your claim is accepted which means you are becoming a protected person or convention refugee in Canada. Now that you have became a protected person you have the right to travel. However we have all surrendered our national passport at time of signing up this journey, you might a need a new travel document here it comes "REFUGEE TRAVEL DOCUMENT".
Here is the BACKGROUND around this type of document.
In order to obtain this document you must first wait a letter from refugee board states that you are officially accepted as a protected person or convention refugee in Canada. With this letter you could then apply a document called PPSD, HERE IS HOW TO APPLY.
After applying PPSD you have to wait about 4-8 weeks to get it in the mail. And this is your official status paper in Canada. In case of traveling this is what you want to have with you when you come back to Canada.
Once you have the PPSD you can now apply for RTD aka Refugee Travel Document. HERE IS THE APPLICATION and a BRIEF FROM SERVICE CANADA
The application itself is very straight forward, however few tips get a lawyer as your guarantor is very helpful all copies of documents needs to be signed by your guarantor. Although the application request 2 references that's when you don't have a guarantor they will actually call your references to check your background. If you have a lawyer as your guarantor, they will simply skip this process and fasten your overall processing time.
After preparing all your documentations you need to go down to the PASSPORT CANADA HEADQUARTER in stead of mailing it, normally your counsel will tell you this may take about 3 months so as the call center. If you go down to the HEADQUARTER yourself they will give a accurate date to pick up your RTD and usually takes about 14days based on a complete application. Of course the counter will give you all necessary guidance if anything is missing on your application.
With all that said, you still have to be very through about your travel plan because IT IS VERY CLEARLY SAID BY THE GOV OF CANADA RTD DOES NOT GUARANTEE YOUR RE-ENTRY. You might have a hard time when you enter back to Canada at the border service. PLEASE CONSULT WITH YOUR COUNSELOR BEFORE YOU LEAVE CANADA AND BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THE DESTINATION COUNTRY'S VISA REGULATIONS AND ACCEPTANCE OF SUCH DOCUMENT BEFORE YOUR VOYAGE.

Below is a sample how the RTD looks like.
FINALLY, GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL.
