Yes , there is a bug for a few days ... Otherwise, there is a novelty: the site iata (visa and health) seems to have made the update: try, it will tell you that you need documents, but no visa.
I have just received an email from the State Secretariat for Migration SEM (Switzerland) ... The equivalent of the police at the borders.
They confirmed to me that the information appearing on the European Commission's document is FALSE, that a visa is still required for the holders of the Canadian blue travel document, 1951 convention ... They confirmed to me that they transmitted the correction to the European Commission, which has still not updated the document.
In short, all this to say that you must ALWAYS check before traveling to the consulate or the authorities of the country where you want to travel. + have a permanent resident card.

- For France: The France-visa website has totally withdrawn the possibility of selecting "1951 Geneva Convention" in the "nationality" choices + The French Consulate in Montreal confirmed by email that the visa is still necessary for the holders of the Canadian rtd document bleu ... The episode of the site france-visa seems to have been, unfortunately, a bug of the site.I MUST ALWAYS A VISA FOR FRANCE.
You can even check by sending an email to the consulate of france in montreal, it usually respond within 2 days.
