Who it’s generally for
People recognized as protected persons in Canada who need a Canadian-issued travel document.
What officers focus on
Identity clarity, consistency of personal history, and whether the package is complete and coherent.
Common delay triggers
Missing identity documents, unclear photos/signatures, gaps in history, or inconsistent details.
What you’ll need (typical)
Exact requirements depend on your situation and the issuing authority’s rules. Below is a practical baseline we use to build a clean submission package.
Tip: The “best” application is usually the one that is short, complete, and consistent — not the one with the most pages.

FAQ
Is this the same as a passport?
No. A Refugee Travel Document is a travel document issued for travel purposes. Acceptance and visa rules depend on the destination and your status.
Can I travel everywhere with it?
Destinations may require visas and some travel may carry risk depending on your protection history. We discuss risk factors before you make travel plans.
What if I have an urgent travel timeline?
Urgency should be handled carefully. We focus on filing a complete package and documenting urgency appropriately if relevant, but timelines are not guaranteed.
What usually causes delays?
Incomplete identity proof, unclear photos/signatures, missing details, or inconsistent information across documents and history.
Want a clean checklist for your situation?
We’ll review your status, identify what’s missing, and build a submission plan that stays short, accurate, and complete.
