Does anyone know an agency that can help with visa applications (Mexico) ?
if you have any other country valid visa i.e. UK, US or Schengen without PR you can enter into Mexico without visa on RTD. I travelled once and i had valid UK visa without PR. entry was very smooth and at Mexico immigration she asked me to provide PR i said it is under process than she asked do i have any other valid visa i said yes UK then she look into my visa and stamp on my RTD.

I need to travel to germany
Have RTD what is the process anyone know?
Just book ticket and fly, try to book with Air Canada or Lufthansa, they knows all the procedure but make sure your RTD must be valid more than six months otherwise you will not be allowed to board, don't book ticket if your RTD is not valid more than 6 months. buy insurance and carry some cash with you along with hotel booking at Frankfurt airport immigration may ask all these documents. visa is not required to travel to Italy / Germany / Hungry.

Hello.
I am a protected person. I applied for my PR but I didn’t get it yet. Can I travel outside of Canada without PR with a valid RTD?
Yes, you can travel with your RTD as a protected person. Check the visa requirements for the country of destination. Thank you.

Hi, how did you get your visa without PR?
I was told on the phone by the consulate that only with the RTD is possible but then sent an email to the embassy and they told me a valid PR is required to get the visa.

Which documents did you use instead of the PR? I'm travelling to the Netherlands tho

Which visa you are talking about ? if you are talking about US/ UK than no problem you only need to submitted your notice of decision instead of PR for both visas.

Has anyone travelled to the US or anywhere else with PR card and Rtd? On the return to canada, would you scan the PR card rather than the Rtd and not have to go through the screening?

Hi, has anyone received a package from Immigration since the postal strike ended? I've been waiting for my package since December 4th, but I haven't received any updates yet, and they say it has been handed over to the postal service.

You can travel with a valid RTD while waiting for your PR, but it depends on the country you're traveling to. To be sure, it's best to contact the embassy of your destination country. For example, if you're traveling to Turkey, you will need to apply for a visa, which typically takes one to two weeks to process.
