Well it just a question you if can't answer it then keep quiet, I only know a city in Cameroon with that name.
It was stupid question to ask in public. I understand its your ignorance but you could overcome by simple google search prior to your exposure. by the way you don't decide when and how to comment.....

if you wanna apply through ePost (for urgent travel) first thing you have to do is sent webform and write your reason for urgent travel and if you have any document which can prove urgency attach it, if you will be considered they will send you ePost link and instructions to apply.
I have sent webform with reason for urgent travel document yesterday and received following email. Is it common, will they send epost link separate if they considered my application

This is a standard reply they send to everyone. It doesn't mean anything in terms of your specific request.

Thanks for your detailed insight. I am pretty sure this post has helped clarify a lot of questions to a lot of people. I have a question of my own that I would appreciate if anyone can provide an insight about:

I recently became a PR and it is a known issue that IRCC is taking 5-6 months to print and mail the PR card. My question is can I apply for the RTD and attache the COPR ONLY as my support while waiting for the card to be received in the mail?

Going through the application, it only lists the PR card as one of the proofs of status in Canada and is wondering if listing the COPR as acceptable proof was missed on their side as it does not make sense to me that they would accept the PR card and not the COPR which is accepted by every other government department in the country.

I am reposting over here for some guys. Web Forum doesn’t work anymore. If you don’t call IRCC they will not process your applications. Some people are waiting over 6 months
Guys
I got my Travel document today .

here is my time line
1) sent all my documents by mail on October 3
2)called IRCC every single day until October 12 an agent agree to refer to urgent processing (+1 - 888 -242 -2100 then press 3 - 5 - 2 - 0 to get Agent )
3) Credit card was charged Oct 22
4) Received Travel document by post November 20

Tips
1) Web forum doesn’t work anymore. Send paper based applications and mention urgent on top of envelope)

2 ) call IRCC until a agent agree to flag your application for urgent processing

3) mention a health reasons for purpose of travel . They will not ask any proof . Attached a letter with applications.

Good luck guys
