I got my RTD with an urgent reason. They don't ask for any proof of urgent travel. Just mail your application to this address:

Certificate of Identity
OSC PPT-COI
PO BOX 8783 STN T CSC
Ottawa, Canada, K1G 5G8


Then go to this link:
https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx

And tell them that you have already mailed your application (mention the tracking number) and explain why you need to travel urgently. Also mention the country of your destination and exact dates of travel. Submit the request and wait for their email.
Good luck.
Hi Mano,
Did you include your PR card or just photocopy of it? Do you need to submit the reason for the urgency via webform or email? How long did the passport process takes?

Same with me, as my pr card more than 4 months on its way from Etobicoke to Toronto, I just sent notice of the decision. They gave two years RTD.

Yes as a refugee so before and after PR you only get RTD. Certificate of identity is for a different category of residents NOT protected persons.


Did you send your PR card with the application? How many years did they give you?
