Is your future spouse an EU citizen? If yes are you joining him/her in their home country? Because immigration options are different depending on his/her situation, but in general getting long stay visa/permit is possible on a RTD

Does Canada issue documents that will act as a birth certificate for its refugees?

Can someone please share Etobicoke office mailing address?

If you're traveling with RTD, you always need a visa to enter France. There's no difference in applying before or after becoming a permanent resident in Canada.

as mentioned I got it in few days, but this was last year and maybe less people were requesting the urgent RTD. good luck

Usually, you don't buy house with cash. You're only asked to pay some percentage upfront (preferably 20%) and mortgage the rest through a financial provider (bank or private lender). It's also advisable to have a good credit score when applying for the mortgage because 1) you'll have more...

If you want to visit Europe change your transit to Germany, 100% you don't need a visa for short stay with RTD. You still need to follow the entry rules for Covid19 in Turkey and Germany.

In my case they didn't cancel my study permit, but I'm not sure about work permits. Why not apply for PR since you have Canadian work experience? this stream is faster and it makes more sense because you've already spent at least a year in this country. It's a bit odd that you waited this long...

Keep in mind that if you leave the airport even for few hours you might need to get a new PCR test (in the Netherlands) if you're not fully vaccinated (got the 2nd dose at least 14 days before your arrival in Turkey), and/or you hadn't recovered from Covid19 in the last six months as per Turkey...

Yes, If you have your national passport you MUST give it to IRCC when you apply for RTD. It's very clear when you fill out 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

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

I honestly don't know. Did you write urgent on the envelope or sent a webform with the tracking number after mailing? If you need to travel urgently you should send a web form to make sure they will open your package asap

It's normal because the RTD was dropped off at Canadapost on Friday, so the information won't be available until the next business day (which is today). Try to check the website again today or tomorrow and hopefully you'll see it there

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 :cool:

Yes if you send your application via regular mail (I.e. Canada post) it will go to Ottawa (at least with epost system). BTW, the issuing office is in Gatineau QC which shares borders with Ottawa ON, so the addresses might be few minutes away from each other even though they're in different...

The general photo requirements are: passport photo taken in the last 6 months by commercial photographer or studio. The photographer has to stamp their info on the back of one photo (name, address, date of the photo), the guarantor has to write "I certify this to be a true likeness of...

Epost. It didn't say Xpresspost but when I tracked the pkg I saw "Xpresspost - signature required" on Canada post website . I think they always send it via Xpresspost with signature on delivery, it is a sensitive document

May 21, so 11 business days in total ( RTD was dispatched yesterday).
