Renew refugee travel document

I renewed last year. Process is the same , just send them the old RTD. Thats the bew thing to do. If have valid visa, attach a letter requesting it back after the renewal.
Thanks for reply, but I thought we don’t need to have a grantor sign since we already established our identity?
Two times I used the form signed by a lawyer /commissioner of oath instead the guarantor. Second time you need the guarantor or that form. Thats the procedure.
my also stuck old rtd what kind email u got from ircc can u plz tell me what the write. after email how many days u got old rtd
I got mine in 3 weeks after i sent them webform
They were able to locate it
Then they mailed to me via canada express post
I applied to renew my RTD and here's the timeline for anyone's reference. This is my second RTD. I have PR now, so I got the 5 year RTD this time. Earlier I didn't have PR, so I got the 2 year RTD.
Gave complete documents to the courier at Canada Post Office on June 4th 2026
Documents accepted by Sydney NS office on June 9 2026
Received notification email from IRCC (Travel Document has been approved and will be mailed to you shortly) on June 29 2026
Received RTD in Toronto today after signature (June 30 2026).
I used the tracking number on the envelope to see when and how it got sent out so soon. I saw the document was processed in Ottawa Canada Post on June 29th 6.55 pm and then came to Toronto overnight. So as long as all the required documents are sent to Sydney NS office, the Ottawa/Gatineu office will prepare the RTD and send it to you.
All the best!

did you receive your original back? If so, how long apart in shipments did it take? my partner received only her new one but she requested in writing that she wanted her old one as it contained a valid visa.
we called and sent in a webform, although she only got her new one 2 days ago. they said they would get back to us with an update soon, but not sure when
how long did it take? i know it's a big ask but if you could reconstruct an approximate timeline it might be really helpful to the folks here.
Hopefully they got back before the department destroy
I didn’t submit weform i had email which they used to contact me regarding some issues with my new travel document so when they printed new one they didn’t sent me old one
So i requested through that email its end with .gc.ca
I was worried they will destroy so i went to MP as well
it had important visas
They sent me after 2 weeks via Canada post
No tracking number were provided
