Hi, I just learned that IRCC shipped my travel document last Wednesday, but I haven’t received anything yet and they don’t provide a tracking number. Is this normal? It has been more than a week. I am very worried.

is your city far from passport service center that you sent your application?

Thread 'I got my US visa on Canada RTD'

Oct 10, 2023

Today I got notified of US visa " B1/B2" issued on my RTD without interview.
just extending my old US visa on my seized national passport.

note:
- I crossed US Canada borders on 2021 and I wrote the date of leaving USA on my letter to consulate.
- I don't have PR, still in processing.
- sent all documents by mail no interview " waived by the system - you answer couple of questions and based on that "

so i wanted to share the info here for anyone who would like to ask about this subject. goodluck all.

It happened to me that My package arrived and nobody was Home to sign. They left a paper and I had to go to the purolator closer agency. Maybe there is a paper or notification You missed it.

I went to the Purolator location and asked if there was anything in my name, but they said no. They asked for the tracking number, which I don't have.

I think they haven't sent my documents yet, but I'm not sure. According to this form, it may take three weeks from approval to delivery.

I wish IRCC provided the tracking number.

I already asked when I called. She said she doesn’t know and she needed to ask the responsible officer. It also may take a week to get a response.

Hey everyone, I have a flight to italy transiting through germany. Both countries do not require a visa for RTD holders, though I am a bit anxious since its my first trip to europe. Will I have any issues at the airports?

Can you tell us what happen with you ?
Did Italy and Germany ask you for visa ?

 

[Osama10abdo]

I am in Canada holding a Canadian Refugee Travel Document (RTD).

I tried applying online for an Australian Visitor Visa (subclass 600), but the system won’t let me proceed

Has anyone here applied before with the same situation? How did you manage to complete the application?

Any tips or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
