After you ship your documents, you got your RTD with the visa in 7 business days? Or just 7 days?

Hello guys, first of all thank you so much for this thread.
i want to renew my travel documents, i send a web form and i told the ircc that i need to process my travel document application urgently and attached the required documents to that webform, after few days i received an email saying that you will be contacted within 5 business days and we will send you a link through Canada post to upload the documents, unfortunately I didn’t receive any other email after!
I decided to send the same webform again
And today i received the same email that i received 2 weeks ago “you will be contacted in the next 5 business days”
What should i do guys? Any of you had a similar experience before? Any suggestions for this matter will be appreciated!

Which one is best airline Toronto to Bangkok?

I can only vouch for Emirates as I had a great experience with them. Most of the European Airlines can be good too. Just avoid Turkish Airlines and any Asian Airlines as they don't have much knowledge about RTD and can give you a hard time.

Best of Luck...

Nope, I'm still waiting for their PR approval. No PR yet.

Does Emirates airlines accept the transit in Dubai without a transit visa? If I traveled with them to any country.

Yes, of course you can transit without a visa. The connecting flight should be within 24 hours. You can't get any type of visas to enter Dubai.
