H&C Humanitarian Ground with/or Without Failed refugee claim

[scylla]

There are 2 types of travel documents for non-Canadians:

refugee travel document
We issue these to protected persons in Canada, including Convention refugees and persons in need of protection.
certificate of identity
We issue these to permanent residents of Canada who either
are not protected persons and are stateless or
can’t obtain a passport from their country or a travel document from any other source

Ah - got it. I didn't realize you were stateless.

Unfortunately there's nothing you can apply for now.

Since you are an H&C applicant, the RTD doesn't apply to you. You will need to wait until you have PR and then apply for the COI.

Sorry
I am under not protected persons.
Not stateless

Yes, I know you are not a protected person. The COI is issued to people who are stateless or unable to obtain a passport from their home county.

Regardless, you can't apply now. You have to wait for PR.

As I mentioned previously you should be traveling on your home country passport. If it is impossible to renew your home country passport from Canada you can apply for COI and then apply for your home country passport if visiting a country where you can renew your home country passport.

One of my freinds already travelled using COI
So I will apply COI.

They may have been required to prove that they could not obtain their home country passport or are stateless to obtain the COI. If you do not meet the requirements to obtain a COI you should be pursuing obtaining your home country passport if it is expired. COI also not likely accepted by all countries just like RTD. In general it is in your best interest to obtain your home country passport for a variety of reasons.

No problem, just keep an eye on it, once I have any news about stage 2 I will definitely post it here. By the way... with AIP, your sister can get the health card and work/study permit.

I just helped her submitting her application for work permit. I think for the Health card she needs to wait to get her work permit approved first in order to apply for health coverage ( now processing time for work permit is more than 200 days ) ?
In Manitoba only people with PR, work permit , or a convention refugee or protected person (as defined by the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada) can apply for health coverage
I do not think H& C applicant can be considered protected person ?

In Ontario you can get your health card on the Ontario Service on the the same day, I don't know the rules for Manitoba, but it's worth to find out for sure.
