Hi Guys ,
I submitted the application for TD to Gatineau office 200 Promenade as requested but the courier delivered it to 70 cremazie Gatineau passport office and I had been told that all packages should be delivered to this address and the transfer should be done internally . I am calling CIC every day to check if they received it or not but nothing yet and some agents said it is wrong address and you have to reapply ,others said you did the right and nothing to worry and it a matter of time , the original PR in the package , is someone had the same problem before , it is more than 11 days now !! Thanks
Likely it will get sorted out in the internal mail. Give it a couple days. Calling daily is excessive. They do have to receive and process the applications. They will also have to transfer your mail to the other department if they dropped it off at the wrong place. What you can do is phone the courier company and ask for a refund if they dropped at the wrong place. And please enough with the bros. Women and men interact on this forum.

thank you guys ! I am wondering how come the agents at CIC do not have enough information to answer our inquiries , I did not get same answers every time I called them. The Courier does not want to recognize that the depot delivered at wrong address. have a good day guys !!

Hey guys,

I’m thinking of going to Turkey for holidays, but it seems that they require that i apply for visa, did anyone here have an experience with the turkish consulat or their visa process? Also does anyone have a list of countries where i can go without a visa? Nationality is Moroccan and i hold a 1951 blue canadian travel document.

Thank you

People who work in customer service are often not paid well and there is likely quite a lot of turnover. Multiple hotlines at the government give out incorrect information. Always try to do the research yourself or get things in writing.

I am applying for a refugee travel document and I haven't known a guarantor for 6 months. If I use the statutory declaration in place of a guarantor form will it take longer for it to be processed?
Please anyone who has the same experience should reply soon.
Thanks

Processing times are always estimates. There is no confirmation of receipt of application for any travel document.
