Hi I came to Australia as refugee and now as PR. I know it is risky according to Canada Immigration Policy for a refugee to travel to third country with his national passport.
I just wondering is it also risky according to Australia Immigration Policy to do so? I have travel doc but the country doesnt accept RTD so I applied the visa using my national passport.
I had looking for information not so sure since no Australian Visa forum like this.

I can't comment on Australian law, but using your national passport means you are relying on your country again. So yes, I imagine the same risks apply in Australia.

I would say to contact an immigration lawyer and take appropriate advise on this matter, as you could lose your refugee status in Australia.
