Don't worry. This happened to me too. I received an email with a tracking number and a link to Canada Post website. I tried for the first 3-4 days, nothing was there. I left it maybe for 2 weeks, then I tried, and yes, it showed that delivery will be done 'tomorrow'.. Indeed next day I received the receipt and I went to Canada Post at Shoppers near my place and collected the travel document from there. You need to take your photo ID and that receipt in order to receive the envelope.
Relax. It won't take much long.

Assume you have already had your hearing and have been accepted as a protected person.

If so, follow the instruction here to apply for a Refugee Travel Document: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...travel-documents-non-canadians/apply-how.html

Hello there,

I got my 2nd RTD, at the time of application I requested to send me back the existing old RTD cause there is valid US visa. Unfortunately, they didn't gimme the old one back, sent only the new one. Immediately I called IRCC and the agent told me he would request the authority to send it back. I raised a web form as well but I don't what should I do at this moment. Do they usually send through a different mail?

Hello! Congrats on your RTD!! Did you need a guarantor this time as well? If yes, same as before or any person with permanent residence status/citizen? Also, that was fairly a quick process, did you have to give an urgent reason for faster processing? Please let me know, thanks
