has anyone traveled to UAE with Canadian Refugee Travel document? I read on UAE embassy website that Canadian Travel document holder shouldn't apply as visa won't be issued to them.

I got the same problem, i called UAE embassy in Canada, they told me that they don't issue any visa for RTD holders, so there is no way for us to get there until we get back our passports :(
 
However, we can travel visa-free to Germany, Slovenia, Slovakia and Hungary in Europe and some countries in africa/asia/south america
 
Thats rediculous...whats wrong with UAE...who gonna live in hot dessert...no one...its nothing...there just hot dessert...no one stay...in UAE in 50 degree in centigrade...they think foreigners r slave trust me...dont go there go other countries...
 
Thank you Mr.Preppy for the info. This is just ridiculous that they are not issuing visas. I just wanted to go and visit my family. now i have to stick to somewhere close-by.

do you have the complete list of countries that don't require visa for RTD?

None of the Gulf Countries accept any travel documents except for an official Passport issued by the Government.

Saudi Arabia is even worse when it comes to issuance of pilgrimage visas. All nationalities require a prior issued valid visa on the official passports ( no travel documents ) incase for visit visas let alone on a pilgrimage visa.
 
The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries have very strict rules regarding what they will and will not accept. Unfortunately they do not accept a travel document in lieu of your passport. End of Story

Are you sure, Mr. Preppy? Having a Canadian PR entitles you visa-free entry to some European / African / South America countries !! Any link which re-confirms it?

For the information of those who do not know what a travel document is
1. It looks exactly like an international passport
2. It is however called a travel document
When I needed to go to the States for a holiday in December 2013 I applied for a US visa (after filing out the online forms, and fulfilling all the requirements). I was issued a 10 years multiple entry visa
