Hello
I made a refugee claim in 2016. My back home passport was seized by Immigration of Canada so I got refugee travel document instead of it.
When I got my pr card, Immigration of Canada office returned my back home passport to me. Currently, I am holding two passports.
My refugee travel document is going to be expired in 5 months. I have checked the cic web site and was not able to find any information about how I can renew it.
According to Cic web site there are two type of passports for non-Canadians- refugee travel document: issued to protected persons in Canada, including convention refugees or persons in need of protection; and
- certificate of identity: issued to eligible permanent residents of Canada who are not protected persons and are stateless or cannot obtain a national passport or travel document from any other source.
What I understood is I am not able to apply non of them.
So there is only one choice left that I have to use my back home passport for traveling. I would like to confirm with you my understanding is correct. If I use my back home passport, is it going to make any negative impact on my citizenship application?
I also saw this sentence in Refugee Travel Document application form ( It ıs attached as a picture below) Should I return my refugee travel document to the Passport Program?

Hello,
Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.
Unfortunately, we are unable to provide a definitive response regarding this type of situation.
It is important and probably best that you speak to a Lawyer who is familiar with Canadian immigration issues for additional information regarding 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.
