Become aware of YOUR responsibilities when becoming a PR thru the refugee process

Why would you want any association with the country you fled from and filed asylum from ?


The IRCC may believe that:

You chose to accept the protection of your country. You may have renewed or applied for a passport from your country, used your old passport, or travelled to your country.

It’s better to travel to another country if UAE doesn’t accept refugee travel document. I think it is unwise to renew your country passport as IRCC might believe that you no are no longer in danger in your homeland and might revoke your permanent residency.

i believe you should NOT use your pakistani passport for any sort of travel or renew it, as @Jakiewuyi said above.

it can cause problems for your status in Canada as a permanent resident. ircc can take your status away.

Unfortunately unless you wait until you become a Canadian you need to get married in another country. I think all Gulf countries at this point may not longer allow travel with an RTD. Do not renew your Pakistani passport if your priority is a future in Canada.

Was in the same shoe, my husband and I went to Georgia to get married. Visa process was easy and the travel for him was near.
He’s from Pakistan living in Dubai. I know it doesn’t directly answer your question but maybe it helps with your decision.
