Hi,hope you will get your RTD soon.
Did you provide any proof for your urgent travel or just write travel reason in the webform?
Thanks. I only wrote them why I need to travel. No proof. First webforum they rejected me because I was not clear about the travel date. Second webforum I sent the same reason with exact travel date and they asked me to submit my application through e-post.

Today I called to ircc and ask them about my urgent travel document application. After long wait of 40 minutes. They agent told me that It’s in process, I said I know it’s in process I applied for urgent travel and it has been five weeks. He said he can only see it’s in process.

Guys today I spoke to agent. They are no longer replying any of webforum requests for urgent travel documents. You will receive a automatic generic reply. In other words we no longer can renew urgent travel documents under the name of afghanistan. Agent is literally lying to me . She said that they are still processing 2 days urgent travel documents. No one is getting specific reply for webforum request. You will receive a generic reply which leads to nowhere.

there is only way to end this stupidity. Call 888 242 2100. Follow the instructions and speak to real agent and complain that you are not receiving specific replies. When They receive More complaints issue will be notified to supervisors . If not they will not start urgent travel documents renewal for next 6 months. Volume of Afghanistan cases are too high . They will not finish it anytime soon

Why they don’t get back to normal??We have the right to have a travel document and go outside of Canada. it’s unfair and against humanity.

I work (indirectly) with some of the government’s agencies. They don’t give any shit about fairness . They will always bow down to political pressures. Only other time they try to do something when they receive hell lot of calls/ complaints regarding specific issues.

at the moment (unofficially ) renewal of travel documents are suspended indefinitely until Afghanistan cases are processed. Canada is expected to in take 20000 to 30000 refugees from Afghanistan expected completed with in year according to Toronto Sun.

only way to put the pressure on IRCC is send the web forum and if you receive generic Reply call agent and put the pressure on them . Eventually they will somehow open the system

I called and spoke with an agent and told me they got nothing from me ,even known I kept sending webforms for over a month .The agent then notified them to contact me but 2 weeks and nothing .No matter what happens to you ,you can`t travel . Waited 6 years for the hearing ,1 year for Pr ,2 years counting for citizenship , now unkown for how long for a crappy travel document when you need the most . Justice = 0

Hi I have been in this situation before I called many times until one agent told me to send it by mail and then call them to give them the tracking number, but in the end I didn’t do it because I got the link 10 min after the call

Well, IRCC doesn't seem that they will respond soon. After I sent 7 webforms with a valid reason, all I keep getting is their automated message and tried calling severally to no avail, I had no choice than to go renew my home passport yesterday. Afghanistan issue seem to be the main priority for them and only God knows when it will end. So I have to use an alternative passport to travel soon.

Hello,

I'm looking for help for a friend. On the IRCC website, it says that you can send in Travel Document applications even if not urgent, they will process it when services return to normal. My friend does not want to travel urgently but wants to apply for a Travel Document. See below.

IRCC Website: If you submitted an application for a refugee travel document or certificate of identity, we’ll process it when service returns to normal.

Can she apply for it now? She does not care how long it will take. Another question, can it be refused based on the fact that it is not urgent?

Again, she just wants to apply so she can eventually get it.
