Hi guys,

has anyone applied for the RTD ( NOT urgent) and received it? And if so? How long did it take?

Thanks in advance

General update:

I can confirm that if you apply for RTD with your PR card, you'll get a 5-years RTD instead of 2 years.

I've just received mine, which is valid until 2026

Did you send the original Card or the Copy ?

You only need to send a copy of your proof of immigration status in Canada. Check section J on the RTD application.

Nowadays if the application is urgent everything will be sent via epost portal (uploads) so you should scan original proof of status because you're not mailing it

if you wanna apply through ePost (for urgent travel) first thing you have to do is sent webform and write your reason for urgent travel and if you have any document which can prove urgency attach it, if you will be considered they will send you ePost link and instructions to apply.

Netherlands accepts RTD, I traveled to Netherlands in 2019 with RTD. But in your case, call the embassy to make sure if you need a transit visa as well.
