Im now Conventional Refugee and apply for my PR. March 2026

My brother come to Canada once years (2015) ago from a country that use to use ETA now they use visa , i haven't seen him since 2018 . However he want to apply for visa to come spend Christmas do you think he get it we have same last name as me ,( we share same both parents ) I work for government almost 3 years now, safe income plus a small business.
I will send him all documents including business account and my job ; but worried if I get to see close family.

Do you think because im refugee he won't get visa ?

Im also planning and going to meet my kids in third country,

Question #1 can I apply for RTD online?

Question #2 how long it will take to get it back ?

Question #3 do I wait until after my family applied for the visa then I applied for RTD ?

PS: my sibling born in a different country from me , so he's not from my home country I file asylum from .

Your brother’s ability to secure a TRV will be purely based on his own profile not yours so your work history in Canada, your savings, etc. are not relevant or will be viewed as additional information. Your asylum claim can have an impact on his TRV application but it partially depends on why you received protected person status. His ability to secure a TRV will depend on whether he has strong ties to his home country, his level of savings and his previous international travel history. The fact that he has visited Canada in the past and as long as he followed Canada’s immigration laws and returned home after his visit that should help his applications

Follow the RTD application instructions. Would suggest applying as soon as possible because I would not book travel before you have secured the RTD. You likely can’t without your RTD information. Just a reminder that you can’t use your home country passport for any reason. Most want to book flights well in advance to ensure a reasonable flight cost and to be able to secure time off from their job.

Hi canuck, i need help

I am a protected person holding a RTD, I had a flight today from Toronto to Budapest , transiting through Munich. I have been denied to flight they asked for PR card and i said i don't have it. I have my notice of decision and work permit but she said there is a new policy came effective 4 days ago, i was refused for flight. Does anyone knows if this is a mistake or what?

The officer will mainly assess your brother's own circumstances: his purpose of travel, financial situation, employment/business, family and other ties to his country of residence, and whether the officer is satisfied that he will leave Canada at the end of his authorized stay. The fact that you share the same parents and last name is not, by itself, a reason for refusal. However, because you are a refugee, the officer could look carefully at the family relationship and whether there is any possibility that your brother intends to remain in Canada.

He's well established in his country working at the same job over 10 years, property, car, family including kids. His savings.

I was just sending mines as well .

More worried if became I'm a Conventional Refugee if that would affect him coming to visit again . As he was successful the first time .

I understand your concern about being a Convention Refugee and whether that could affect his application. As long as everything is truthful and clearly explained, I would assume that your refugee status alone will cause his visa to be refused. I would therefore make sure the application is completely transparent and clearly explains the purpose of the visit.

If he is well established himself I would probably not include my information other than an invitation letter. If he is leaving his dependent children and/or wife at home that would make his application stronger. Why you obtained refugee status may also have an impact on his approval. Whether he lives in his home country or a 3rd country can have an impact. He should include a detailed itinerary of his planned visit, approved leave from work if it is standard in the country he is from, etc. He should include the strongest application and hope for the best.

Would always suggest verifying in advance with any destination and transit country whether they accept RTDs from Canada. There may have been a recent change in Germany because in the past travel to Germany was possible without a visa if you had an RTD.
