Netherlands: Yes, you generally need a Schengen visa. The Dutch government states that holders of refugee/alien travel documents issued by third countries require a visa, but Germany& Italy No visa for a short stay/transit of up to 90 days

Okay thank you! Do you have experience applying schengen visa? is it pretty straightforward?

Yes, it's pretty straightforward.

1. Here's the required documents list for a Schengen visa for Tourism.
2. Next, fill out this application online here.
3. Then book the VFS appointment here.

I would recommend trying to book an appointment first because the appointment slots are hard to get, especially if you're in Toronto.

I haven’t personally applied for a Schengen visa using a Canadian RTD, so I wouldn’t want to say from personal experience that it’s straightforward.
For an RTD holder, I would first confirm with the Dutch consulate/VFS that they accept your specific Canadian RTD and ask for the exact document checklist. Once confirmed, the application itself is generally a standard Schengen visa process, but RTD holders can have additional document or verification requirements. It’s best to get confirmation before booking non-refundable flights. Good luck with your application!
