Hi Everybody,
I was a refugee claimant from Pakistan. I Received my PR Last year and my Passport is still valid. Now I want to visit my family in USA. Do I need to apply for a travel document? As I have been told by someone that I will be in trouble if I travel on my Country's Passport.
Regards
Tariq

Hello Tariq,
Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.
You can find some information regarding travelling to the United States in our Settlement.Org What do I need to know about travelling to the United States? article.
In terms of issues related to being a former refugee claimant, it is important that you read this How can a refugee lose their status in Canada? document from Your Legal Rights.ca.
Here is an excerpt,
In some cases, cessation can lead to a refugee also losing their permanent resident status.
Even permanent residents who have lived in Canada for many years could be forced to leave.
One of the reasons that a refugee can lose their permanent resident status is if they voluntarily go back under the protection of their "country of nationality". This is the country they were a citizen of when they fled.
Going back under the protection of the country of nationality is called "re-availment".
The Minister may apply for cessation based on this reason if a protected person has:
-travelled to their country of nationality
-applied for or renewed a passport issued by that country
You may want to confirm some information regarding your own situation and get some legal advice in your situation.
I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.

Hi Anna
Thank you so much for the detailed reply. In that case I must have to apply for a Travel Document to travel. My brother is in United Arab Emirates. I want to travel to UAE too, but I have come to know that UAE does not accept Travel Document for Visa. What should I do know?
