Can I travel with my country-issued passport if I am a convention?

According to the Canadian government website you need a Refugee Travel Document. You can use this to travel anywhere except the country you claimed refugee status from. If you choose to use your home countrys passport to return to your home country, you risk losing your status as a refugee (or any other non-citizen status you may hold) in Canada. This is called re-availment. This Ontario government website also says the following : A protected person who is not a Canadian citizen should: not apply for or renew a passport from their country of nationality or travel to that country get legal advice before making any application to CIC or Passport Canada If they need to travel, they should use a refugee travel document instead of a passport from their country of nationality. If they need to go back to that country, they should get legal advice before going so they understand the risks.
