Hi everyone,
I hope someone here can help or share their experience.
I was a protected person and have recently become a permanent resident. I now want to apply to renew my travel document, but I’m confused about which one to apply for.
There seem to be two options:
Refugee Travel Document – for people with protected person status
Certificate of Identity – for permanent residents who are not protected persons and cannot get a national passport
Since I am now a permanent resident, I’m not sure which option is correct. I also noticed that the fees are different for each. ($ 120 & 260 )
Additionally, my previous Refugee Travel Document is expired, but it still contains a valid U.S. B1/B2 visa. The application checklist says to send any travel documents with the new application. I’m concerned about sending the original because I still need the U.S. visa in the future.
I am still waiting for my PR card. Can I apply for the travel document using just my eCOPR, or do I need to wait for the PR card first?
Has anyone in a similar situation successfully applied? Is it acceptable to send a photocopy of the expired Refugee Travel Document instead of the original?
I don’t have a lawyer and plan to apply on my own, so I want to make sure I do this correctly.
Thank you very much to anyone who has experience or knowledge about this process.
