No you can't use your home country pasdpprt without riskong your status in Canada. You must apply and use and RTD. You will need to verify that the 3rd country accepts RTDs.

Chapter 12 of the IRB handbook addressed issues on cessation of refugee protection. If you travelled to another country with your national passport, your case will be treated as reavailment and your status will be withdrawn. The best option is to use your RTD to travel to different country other than your country of birth. Please read the IRB handbook and link below for more information.
