No. I applied right after I got my decision. But so far what I know. Your RTD without PR status will be issued only for 2 years (like mine). If you have PR status it will be issued for 5 years. When you are traveling to Mexico you need to apply for visa. Cuba, Dominican Republic, Jamaica are not requiring visa for RTD. I just applied a week ago. My first one already expired.Do I need to wait for my PR card first?
