ENTITLEMENT TO A CANADIAN TRAVEL DOCUMENT
Important notice: We recommend that you not finalize your travel plans until you receive the requested travel document.
A Canadian travel document reflects the identity of the applicant as determined by proof of immigration status in Canada, issued by Immigration, Refugees and
Citizenship Canada and documents to support identity.
• Refugee travel document: issued to persons in Canada with protected person status, including Convention refugees and persons in need of protection.
• Certificate of identity: issued to permanent residents of Canada who are not protected persons and who are stateless or are unable to obtain a national
passport.
Warnings:
• Some countries may not accept the certificate of identity as a valid travel document. You should check with the consulate or embassy of the country the child
will be visiting before applying for a certificate of identity.
• Canadian refugee travel documents and Canadian certificates of identity are not valid for travel to the bearer's country of citizenship.
• For stateless and protected persons in Canada over 16 years of age, use form PPTC 190, Adult Travel Document Application.
• Eligibility for either a travel document or a certificate of identity can be determined only after all required information has been submitted and reviewed. These
documents are issued only in Gatineau, Quebec.
• If the child is issued a Canadian travel document and later obtains a travel document or a passport issued by the child's country of citizenship, you must
return the Canadian travel document issued in the name of the child to the Passport Program.
