@Driz001 It’s already 6 weeks done. Any update about RTD ?

Same thing. They gave me tracking number. Basically, our documents were just sitying in theoffice throughout the strike, and they are still sitting there. Theysimply created a label,thats it. Canada Post did not pick up those documents.

I could have picked it up 1000 times by now.

@annaamna Any update about your RTD ?

I have had a package sitting in a purolaotor wahrehouse for 3 weeks. Their system seems completely overwhelmed.

Finally, I have received my daughter's RTD today, delivered by Canada Post. It took exactly 8 weeks, they dispatched on November 14th.

Congratulations.

It's frustrated that they dispatched mine on December 10th with Purolator and it seems they are sleeping

No, we have a community mailbox. My landlord received it at his door and handed it over to us. I checked the delivery signature from the Canada Post website. Whatever, I am glad we received it. It was getting on my nerves.

Indeed, it is frustrating. Hope you'll receive your one soon.

Have you got the guarantor specific occupation based for your application? or Did you used the Statutory Declaration in Lieu of Guarantor for Non-Canadians (Form PPTC 326) ? If you used this form, from where you got this? I don't have a guarantor. I am trying to get it from the passport office. But they said they don't have it.

Hello, I might be a bit late but when I applied to my RTD I didn't have a guarantor neither and I have to called immigration in order to get the document on my email address

Omg, that's too longgg I was told that my RTD was approved on Jan. 13th, I applied in October 2024. I had to called them and tell them my RTD was urgent since I need to apply for a visa before my trip and they gave me a fax number where I sent a letter explaining that I needed it asap and I also made my references write a letter so immigration could contact them.
That seems worked since two days after I sent the letters my reference was contacted (just one of them)

Sorry that I ask here but has anyone applied for a Dutch visa with the RTD and without visa?

I was told during a call that only the RTD would work for the visa application but then on a email said that I can only applied for a visa with a PR card.

Does anyone has any experience?? I need help

Our RTD got approved in 12 working days. Unfortunately my daughter's one was scheduled with Canada Post, and it got shucked for their strike.
