If you are going to France, you do not need a visa with Refugee Travel Document.

I don’t know how I got mixed up between Germany and France, but I’m sorry for this mistake, Germany is the country you don’t need a visa for with RTD, NOT FRANCE.

Yes! Absolutely.
I had an active US Visa in my national passport, but it was seized, and I reapplied for the US visa using my Travel Document. I had an interview at the embassy, and it was very simple to explain that as a refugee, my passport was seized, and I don't have access to that visa anymore, so the officer cancelled that visa in my national passport in the system ,and issued a new one and put it in the Travel document. So now I can go to the US with this new visa.

Had you received your PR card when apply?

Had you received your PR card when apply?

PR is not necessary.

I had the same issue last Month.

had a ten year Visa.

When i got RTD i got another Ten Year.

I still do no have a PR.

Great! That was my biggest concern, to know if PR is needed cause RTD says in the last page that " To enter Canada, the bearer must provide supplementary evidence of PR status as establish by Canadian Immigration Authorities."

Hi everyone,
I have a question i doubt anyone would know but, i applied for RTD on June 22nd its been a month now and They havent contacted my references yet. Anyone know when in the process are references contacted and does anyone know the number they call from by any chance. Because one of my references is traveling and he doesnt wanna answer any number because of roaming fees.
Thank you so much

Depending on how you mailed it take off at least a week. Sounds like 4 weeks including mail time and holiday weekend. Depends on how busy they are but somewhat on the longer side if they haven’t started processing yet but what can you do. Believe they just give out processing time estimates.
