That’s pretty normal, don’t cancel your appointment. Just carry with you your original RTD ( passport ), valid Open Work permit and your refugee claimants picture ID they will check these and let u inn for interviews.

I got the same email before my appointment but everything went well , good luck to you.

I received similar email,but bit different. I contacted the consulate visa team by email for personal reason. They told me that I am RTD holder and my appointment confirmation issued country shouldn’t say canada , so they changed it to my origin nationality . Do you why this happened? When we fill appointment form, there is question that RTD isssued country. So, we selected canada. That why. You can fix it easily.
