A Refugee Travel Document allows refugees in Canada to travel outside of canada without a passport from their home country. A PR travel document (PRTD also known as Form IMM 5529) allows Canadian permanent residents who are not in the country to prove their immigration status on their return to Canada. More information is available from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (CIC). I’m a Canadian permanent resident and have a travel document issued by the government of Canada. My question is do I need a Visa to travel to the U.K and if i do, am I eligible to apply with my current travel document?
You will need to ask the UK authorities. Try contacting the British High Commission in Ottawa.

Yes you can. Contact IRCC to do so.

Permanent Resident Travel Document. I am a permanent resident in Canada (just activated it on 17-Feb-2017. Therefore my PR card is not issued yet. Now my only grandmother died and the funeral is next week. I am able to go to Switzerland but not able to return to Canada without a PR card or a PR Travel document (which can only be obtained from outside of Canada – but I would only be in Switzerland for about 1 week – 4 business days. I have been in touch with the border services, CIC helpcenter, the Canadian Embassy in Switzerland but no solution can be presented to me. I thought the PR will make things easier (and I worked hard and a long time on it to get it) but it seems it made it all just more complicated. Is there anyway you can help me?
You can attempt to submit the application before you travel, but we don’t know whether or not it will be accepted.
can i go back to the country i come from it by the travel documents ? and i already got PR and how long it take is to get the travel documents ? and the fees to applying for travel documents
If you are a Protected Person in Canada and apply for a Canadian Refugee Travel Document, this document will usually ban you from travelling to the country you fled as a refugee. If you still have a valid passport from that country, though, you can likely travel on that.
I am Syrian who had a private sponsorship and resettled from Iraq to Canada. I worked for a multinational company in Iraq and I should go back to Iraq for less than one year. What should I do in order not to be prohibited from re entering Canada and lose my asylum. I will go and follow-up my company to transfer my job to Canada.
If your Canadian travel document prevents you from travelling to Iraq, you could lose your status in Canada if it is discovered that you travelled to Iraq. If your document does not prevent you from travelling to Iraq, you can.
