But if you are planning to travel soon, better to call them and confirm.

Hey do we need a grantor for the renewal of 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.

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!
