Yes, you can travel to other countries once you get a visa for that country
Yes, when you become PR you can sponsor your parents to become PR.
Yes again once you have an RTD get visa for the country and go there, and you cannot use your home countries passport to travel.

Hello all,
I hope you are doing good.
Today I got a message on my GCKEY account and it was saying Eligibility passed and asking my overseas spouse to apply at Cairo office. Security and background check are yet to complete. I’m Sept. 2018 applicant under protected person class.
how close are we to the DM?
And shall my overseas spouse apply online?
Thanks all
you may get DM in a few days or a few months.. all depends on how long security and criminality takes.

Good Luck.

Once we are permanent residents as in-land protected persons, can we sponsor our parents and siblings to immigrate to Canada as well?
You response gave me some hope :).
Thanks!

I'm planning on renewing my RTD since I became PR in the meantime and anyway my current RTD is about to expire within a few months. Do I know right that I have to provide the following documents in order to get the new RTD which will be valid for 5 years?

1. Application form
2. Old Refugee Travel Document (which they will keep I assume)
3. PR Card
4. My nationality passport (that was seized by IRCC before I was getting my PR card)
I was told that I must get my nationality passport back from IRCC and once I get it back then I have to send it alongside with the RTD application to Passport Canada and they will keep it there, because I can't have two valid passports at the same time (my nationality passport is still valid that's why).
If old RTD expired, you do not need to send with application. But when you renew, you have option for old one , they will return or destroy, you don’t need to send you home country passport, they know that you cannot use it.

Hello guys,

anybody has experience why sometimes criminality takes very long time even more than the security?
even though you are very confident that you and the family members are clean and clear and in the GCMS notes was written no crim. record since April, 2020
I am sooooooo depressed
