Step by Step Guide
Non-Canadians living in Canada
This simple Guide will walk you through the entire Canadian travel document application process. We encourage you to take time to read each step to ensure that your application form is properly completed.
Travel documents are issued to residents of Canada who are:
- Convention Refugees
- Protected Persons
- Stateless Persons
- Permanent Residents for less than 3 years who are unable to obtain a national passport for a valid reason
Canada issues two types of Canadian travel documents:
- Travel document (Convention of 28 July 1951)
- Certificate of identity
Eligibility for either document is determined only after all required information has been submitted and reviewed.
