I’m an Indian citizen living in Canada as a protected person and holding a Canadian blue Refugee Travel Document (RTD).


I’m planning to travel from Vancouver to Kathmandu, Nepal, and would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has recently made this journey using a Canadian-issued RTD, particularly Indian nationals.


I have a few questions:



1. Transit airport: Which transit airport did you use? Hong Kong, Singapore, Doha, or another airport? Which would you recommend?


2. Transit requirements: Did you need a transit visa, or were you allowed to remain airside during your connection?


3. Airline boarding: Did the airline staff in Vancouver or at your transit airport create any issues when checking your RTD and Nepal visa?


5. Return to Canada: Did you face any difficulties boarding your return flight to Canada? Were there any questions or issues regarding your RTD or protected-person status?


6. Immigration in Canada: Was the return process at Canadian immigration straightforward?


7. Documents: Did you need to carry your Notice of Decision, work permit, PR application documents or any other supporting paperwork?


I’m particularly interested in recent, first-hand experiences from Indian nationals travelling on a Canadian blue RTD, rather than ordinary Indian passport holders.


If anyone has completed this journey recently, I would be extremely grateful if you could share your route, airline, transit airport and overall experience.

Note: i am already having a nepal visa and if anyone needs assistance on visa for nepal you can reachout to me for help
make sure the airline confirms that it will accept your Canadian RTD for the entire journey, including your return to Canada.

1. Transit airports that you can book your tickets via-- DUBAI, DOHA -- BEST AND TRAVEL TESTED.

Confirmed with Delta airline at YYZ airport as long as you have US and Nepal visa.
2. For DOHA and DUBAI, you have to remain inside the airport. Qatar airways provides complementary accommodation at Doha airport as long as you have over 8 hours of transit time and there is no earlier flight available from Qatar airways before your booked flight. All this information is travel tested and can be taken as an advice as rules changes with time.
3.You won't get any trouble as long as you have all the documents in hand ready. The above mentioned routes is 100% tested with Canadian RTD to Kathmandu, Nepal from YYZ airport.

Questions asked at YYZ airport--- Where you coming from? When did you leave Canada? Why did you travel specifically to the Country you are returning from? Did you travel to your home country? BE READY FOR ANY QUESTION RELATED TO YOUR PROFILE.
5. You have to keep all documents including Notice of Decision, Work permit, Provincial I.D, PR card) with you all time when you are abroad. You never know when immigration officials ask for it. AND DON'T LOOSE YOUR RTD IN ANY WAY ABROAD, IT WILL BE A NIGHTMARE FOR YOU OTHERWISE to return back to Canada.
