My application process for admission to Canada from Sri Lanka is almost complete.


I was asked to sumbit my passport.

Do I get the PRTD along with my passport or do I have to apply for it separately.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your question with us.

You can find details specific to that process on the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) website in the Permanent resident travel document: About the process section.

You need to send your PRTD application through a visa application centre (VAC). After that, a VAC agent will review your application to make sure your it is complete and has all the documents specified in the checklist.

If a visa officer approves your application, they will return your passport and original documents to you with your permanent resident travel document.

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.

1. It appears that OP has been accepted as Permanent Resident, so s/he submits the passport and a PR 1 entry counterfoil is pasted in the passport, and the COPR is issued. The PRTD doesn't enter into the scenario, as they are only issued to Permanent Residents who don't have a PR card. It would appear that the OP is not a PR as s/he hasn't "landed"
