I am from Ethiopia my hearing appointment was for December, but finally I received a postponing letter by this week. Now I start to think how much time it will take to get the other letter stating my hearing? and how much months it will take? the other thing I want to know is, is that possible to get a travel document while I am a refugee claimant?
Once you claim is accepted as protected person you can apply for RTD .

What are the benefits, if any, of applying for RTD as opposed to using one's passport of the country of citizenship?

The best thing is to forget your passport. A real refugee who can not return to his her country why should use the passport of that country? Btw, they do not return your pass until you be pr as I know. The Canadian RTD is much more powerful than our original passport. So just forget your passport. I even do not want to receive it from irb and if it is possible I will not take it back unless i have to.

Anyone know how long it takes to receive the RTD? And if I travel to their office will I receive it within a day or two?

It depends on how lucky you are, no rules at all once you get postponed

step 1: create a Mycic account (GCkey signup) using the above link ( following the instructions while creating account and i suggest to write down all the security question and answer at a safe place so that you do not forget what you typed there)
step 2: Based on your questionnaire you answered in step 1, your Mycic account will automatically be consisting the application forms which you have to submit ( download them)
step 3: upload all the forms once filled,your photo and documents etc whatever is requested in your Mycic account

-uploading supporting documents: scan them all, paste them in a word document file and upload them.

How did you applied for work permit first time? I don't know if there is another way to extend work permit online but if look carefully you'll get options to extend your work permit on your CIC account
