Refugee Travel Document Processing Time

[Leeky]

They can give a tracking number if they dispatch your RTD with Canada Post. If it is Purolator, there is no tracking number. I applied for my daughter (16 yrs) and myself. Purolator delivered my one, but there was no tracking number. My daughter's one is to be delivered by Canada Post, it has a tracking number but is not yet activated. It got stuck for the strike. IRCC says they dispatched it on Nov 14th. I received my one on Nov 18 but still waiting for my daughter's RTD. I went to the Canada Post, and they said that they have nothing to do if the tracking is not activated; IRCC says, they are done with their part. I have no clue except waiting.

Today I called irrcc again they said if you don’t get it you can fill Lost or stolen form (PPTC 203) and pay regular fee+45$ extra fee.

2 months.

To receive with Purolator or to process your application

Typically the government waits and hopes that Canadapost goes back to work before going to alternate carriers. The strike went on long enough they had to do something while it seems like they were waiting it out until the partial back to work this time.
