Since it is after you became protected person that you got married, you can now include his name. There are places on the form where you will include dates of marriage and subsequently upload the marriage certificate. That’s all.

Thank you for answering. Do we need to upload all the pictures of marriage etc?

The document not only determines whether a visa is required or not... But also whether the blue Canadian travel document RTD (1951 convention) is accepted (A few rare countries of the European Union, in fact, would refuse even attach a visa to the Canadian documents, and do not recognize it)

I will transcribe here directly the information available at this moment, with the country abbreviations to decipher them all... BUT, it must be kept in mind that this information will not always be the same, it will always be necessary to check the latest version.

Version of the document on which I take the information below:

(Tab number ''0'', title: notification of the exel document, ''This publication is based on information communicated by the Member States to the Commission at 01/02/2023'')

Conclusion : Spain and Portugal need a visa vor canadian rtd holder ( A visa application seems possible for Spain according to this last document... But not so long ago, a few months back, this document was not even recognized by Spain! )

* Country codes :

European Union (EU)

Belgium(BE)Greece(EL)Lithuania(LT)Portugal(PT)

This email from Portugal Embassy Toronto
Thank you for your email. If you have a canadian blue travel document and a valid canadian visa or PR card you can apply for a Schengen visa.

Anyone knows about Spain. I have to go to Portugal to visit my family and PR is taking forever.

Hi guys, I applied for RTD and they rejected my application. The reason was missing back side signature. Which documents that the guarantor has to sign at the back. All paper even the application form? What else the guarantor or me has to sign? Could you please answer me?

Why dont you try to call them? Im sure they can explain you. Before you apply again you should call them. If you try calling them couple times in a day, you can reach them

Is it right that after PR, H&C applicants can’t apply for travel documents ?

Not refugee travel document. But i think you can apply certificates of identity for travelling.

website says:

Certificates of identity are issued to permanent residents of Canada who are not protected persons and are stateless or cannot obtain a national passport or travel document from any other source. These documents are only issued in Canada.
