Non-Canadian in Canada

Canada issues two types of travel documents: the travel document and the certificate of identity.

These travel documents are issued to residents of Canada who are:

  • Convention Refugees
  • Protected Persons
  • Stateless Persons
  • Permanent Residents for less than three years who are unable to obtain a national passport for a valid reason.

Only after we have received all your required information can we determine which document you are eligible for and for how long it will be valid.
