Refugee travel document (Urgent)

[Kaisa_18]

I sent them 3 Canadians IDs and this is my 2nd RTD. It's just silly to ask a guarantor to sign the application and says "Hey, yup this is Kaisa_18"!. They should find another way like giving fingerprints or something to proof identity (like when you apply for visas).

Does it mean that anytime one has to apply or renew this RTD they must get a guarantor? This just pain in the ass, I haven't apply yet and I don't even have anyone to use as a guarantor.

It's recommended to send a web form first before sending the application since they only issue RTDs for urgent travel only.


You can send the web form from here and attach any supporting documents you have
https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx ; and

• select the category for a certificate of identity or a refugee travel document
• include your travel date
• include the reason you need urgent services

You will receive an email after few days to advise you what to do next.

Looks like it. Because it is the same application for 1st RTD or 2nd etc. You should contact the Passport program and ask for "Statutory Declaration in Lieu of Guarantor form" because you don't have a guarantor.

Here's the contact info https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...adian-passports/contact-passport-program.html

Currently they are processing for urgent travellers only if you have an urgent reason send them your request through webform and if they will consider your request then you will receive link to apply via ePost service and documents list.

Most important document you need is Acceptance Letter (Protected Person) or PR.

Some people just applied by epost. I mailed mine. I have not seen anywhere saying we should epost the application. Please advise.

ePost link is only for those who are considered as urgent travellers after sending webform and documents if request approved by Department.

but application can also be mailed for normal processing.

Well they mentioned on the website the 1st step to apply is to send a web form, the epost is the 2nd step but you'll only get it if they approve your travel reason.

Yes you don't have to submit anything online, but the issue here if you mail your application without the epost conversation, the package is going to be delivered to the regular mailroom and most likely won't be opened for weeks or even months.
If you send the web form, the epost message from IRCC will give you a different address to mail your package. That's why it's advisable to send a web form first, wait couple of days to get the epost message to get the address for urgent travel applications.

You can send IRCC a web form with your package tracking number so they can find it. This is of course if you need to travel urgently, otherwise they will process it when normal processing is returned.

It seems we have to wait a long time to get ours. Our travel is not urgent. I could not find any regular processibg time anywhere.

If you are a convention refugee or a protected person meaning you hold a positive decision from the IRB, then yes you can get an RTD without the need to have COPR or PR itself. In short, RTD stands for Refugee Travel Document so a positive NOD is enough.
