Hi guys, I landed on July 12, and I have a trip to Egypt in October. Just to be safe I want to apply for a travel document. Is it possible to get it IN CANADA? I called CIC and they told me to go to Canadian Embassy in Cairo and get it. My problem is I don't know anything about Egypt, I have never been to Egypt before, and I am gonna spend 1 day in Cairo to see the pyramids and that's it, the rest of my 7-day vacation I am spending far from Cairo, obviously I am not gonna have time to apply for a travel document in Egypt.

Is there a way to apply for it while still in Canada? I am a little bit confused since all the info I found states that only stateless persons can apply for a travel document within Canada, which I don't think is true, but at the same time I cannot find any info on HOW to apply for it within Canada...

Could someone possibly help me understand this?

Thank you very much in advance!

Hi, as far as I know you can get this kind of travel document only abroad (not in Canada).
 
...also do we have to inform our FORMER EMPLOYERS about our new SIN? I was working for this lawyer and quit right before getting my PR, so the T4 will bear my old SIN number. Can I ask her to issue my T4 under the new SIN number?

She didn't send me a record of employment yet anyways and it has been 3 months now...
 
With the grace of GOD finally today just received my PR Card.
 
Mine was sent out on Aug 21st hopefully I will receive it this week.
 
One more thing,
What a joke.

They took new snaps and on PR card they use old one, which i gave them at airport.

Hello,

Did someone on or after 20th July Landing date receive PR card? I landed on 26th July. Still no news of PR card. No new column in ECAS for PR CARD status.
