What this form asks for

The AI fills all of it, from your answers or your documents.

PPTC 190 is the official Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) Passport Program form used by eligible stateless persons and protected persons in Canada (age 16+) to apply for a Canadian travel document. It supports issuance of either a Refugee Travel Document (for protected persons) or a Certificate of Identity (for certain permanent residents who are stateless or cannot obtain a national passport). The form is important because it establishes your identity and entitlement through immigration status evidence, identity documents, photos, and a guarantor’s certification. Incomplete, inaccurate, or misleading information can lead to refusal, revocation, or a period of refusal of travel document services.

The AI checks your answers before you download

17 checks built for this form, so a wrong date or a missing answer is caught before anyone else sees it.

Applicant age eligibility (16+ at time of application)

Validates that the applicant’s date of birth indicates they are at least 16 years old on the application signature date (or submission date, depending on system rules). This is required because this form is explicitly for applicants 16 years of age or over; under-16 applicants must use a different form. If the applicant is under 16, the submission should be rejected with instructions to use the child application form.

Date field format and validity (YYYY-MM-DD / YYYY-MM / unknown)

Checks that all date fields follow the required format: YYYY-MM-DD for full dates (e.g., DOB, issue/expiry dates, signatures, travel dates) and YYYY-MM for address history periods, and that the values represent real calendar dates. For “Anticipated date of travel,” the system must also allow the explicit “Unknown” option and prevent partial/invalid combinations (e.g., month without day if not permitted). If any date is malformed or impossible (e.g., 2025-02-30), the application should be flagged for correction before processing.

Required personal information completeness (Section 1 core fields)

Ensures mandatory applicant fields are present: surname, given name(s), UCI (if required by program rules), place of birth (city and country/territory), date of birth, sex selection, current home address, and email address (explicitly marked required). Completeness is critical for identity determination and for contacting the applicant to resolve issues. If any required field is missing, the submission should be blocked or routed to an “incomplete application” queue with a clear list of missing items.

UCI format validation (8 or 10 digits)

Validates that the UCI/Client ID contains only digits and is exactly 8 or 10 digits long, as specified in the instructions. This prevents mismatches and failed lookups against IRCC records. If the UCI is present but not in the correct format, the system should reject the value and request correction (or allow blank only if the business rules permit).

Name character set and capitalization/printability rules

Checks that name fields (requested surname/given names, former surnames, parent surname at birth, references, guarantor) contain acceptable characters (letters plus limited punctuation such as hyphen/apostrophe) and are not filled with numerals or symbols. The form instructs applicants to type/print in capital letters; systems should normalize case for storage while ensuring the entered content is legible and not obviously invalid (e.g., 'AAAA', '1234'). If invalid characters or clearly non-name content is detected, the application should be flagged for manual review or returned for correction.

Former surnames requirement when different from requested surname

Validates that the “All former surnames” field is completed when the applicant indicates or provides evidence of prior names (e.g., identity documents in Section 6 show a different surname) or when the requested surname differs from immigration status name (if captured in the system). Declaring former surnames is important for identity verification and record linkage. If a mismatch is detected and former surnames are blank, the submission should be flagged and the applicant asked to provide former surnames or supporting name-change documentation.

And 11 more checks
  • Sex selection is exactly one of F/M/X and consistent with status document when required
  • Address completeness and postal/ZIP code format (Canada vs non-Canada)
  • Email and telephone number format validation
  • Applicant signature and signature date presence and recency (within last 12 months)
  • Guarantor mandatory fields completed by guarantor (bold fields) and known-for duration >= 6 months
  • Proof of immigration status document details and expiry logic
  • Previous Canadian travel document logic (Yes/No branching and required details)
  • Foreign travel document possession and explanation requirement
  • Travel history entries consistency (date left <= date returned; country/reason required)
  • Identity documents section requirements (at least one ID; not same as immigration status; expiry and name present)
  • References eligibility and uniqueness (2 non-relatives, not guarantor, 18+, known >= 6 months)

  2. Complete Section 1 (Personal Information): enter your requested name, UCI, birth details, sex marker, contact information, addresses, and sign/date the applicant declaration.
  3. Complete Section 3 (Proof of Immigration Status in Canada): choose one valid status document, record its number and issue/expiry dates, and upload a clear photocopy.

Common Mistakes in Completing PPTC 190

The ones the AI is built to catch.

Not using CAPITAL LETTERS or using the wrong ink colour
Applicants often fill the form in mixed case, pencil, or light-coloured ink because they treat it like an online form or a casual paper form. This can make key fields hard to read or scan, increasing the chance of data-entry errors and processing delays. To avoid this, type the form if possible, or print clearly in CAPITAL LETTERS using black or dark blue ink only.
Name on the application doesn’t match immigration status documents (without proof of change)
A very common issue is requesting a surname/given name that differs from the proof of immigration status (e.g., using a married name, preferred spelling, or different order) without including the required supporting documents. This can lead to the travel document being issued in the “wrong” name (based on IRCC records) or the application being delayed/refused pending proof. Use the exact name shown on your immigration status document unless you include the specific evidence listed (marriage/common-law certificate, legal name change order, adoption order, or approved IMM 1436 amendment).
Forgetting to declare all former surnames (or listing them incorrectly)
People frequently omit birth surnames, previous married surnames, or alternate spellings, or they list them in the wrong place. Missing former surnames can trigger identity verification issues and requests for clarification, slowing processing. Declare every former surname that differs from the requested surname and separate multiple names with commas as instructed.
Incorrect UCI/Client ID format or leaving it blank
Applicants often enter the wrong number (e.g., a document number instead of UCI) or include spaces/hyphens, or they leave it empty because they don’t know where to find it. An incorrect or missing UCI can make it harder to match your application to IRCC records, causing delays or follow-up requests. Copy the 8- or 10-digit UCI exactly as it appears on your immigration document.
Date fields completed in the wrong format or with incomplete dates
This form uses strict formats (YYYY-MM-DD for many fields; YYYY-MM for address history), but applicants often write DD/MM/YYYY, use words (e.g., “Jan”), or leave out day/month. Wrong formats can be misread and may cause the application to be returned or corrected by officers, delaying issuance. Always follow the exact format shown beside each field and use leading zeros where needed (e.g., 2026-01-07).
Providing an incomplete address history for the last two years
Many applicants list only their current address, forget “From/To” months, or leave gaps/overlaps in the two-year timeline. Gaps can raise questions during identity and residency verification and often result in requests for additional information. List every address for the last two years with continuous coverage and use the required YYYY-MM format for the start and end dates.
Guarantor section completed incorrectly (wrong person, missing bold fields, or not meeting criteria)
Common problems include using an ineligible guarantor (not a Canadian citizen/PR in Canada, not in an approved occupation list), not meeting the “known for at least 6 months” rule, or the applicant filling in the guarantor-only bold fields. These errors can invalidate the guarantor declaration and lead to rejection or a request for a new guarantor (significant delay). Confirm the guarantor meets all criteria, ensure the guarantor personally completes the four bold fields (months known, signature, date, location), and do not assist them with their duties.
Identity documents submitted incorrectly (using immigration status document again, missing both sides, or not certified)
Applicants often reuse the immigration status document as identity support even though the form explicitly says it must be different, or they submit only one side of an ID card. Another frequent issue is submitting copies that are not signed and dated by the guarantor to confirm the original was seen. Provide at least one valid government-issued ID that meets the requirements, include copies of both sides, and have the guarantor sign and date the copies (or submit originals if allowed).
Not enclosing required documents about previous Canadian travel documents (or missing PPTC 203 when applicable)
People often answer “Yes” to having a previous Canadian travel document but forget to include the document, or they had one lost/stolen/damaged and don’t include form PPTC 203. This can stop processing because the program must resolve the status of any prior document before issuing a new one, and replacement fees may apply. Enclose any non-expired Canadian travel document issued in the last five years, and if it was lost/stolen/damaged/inaccessible, include PPTC 203 and be prepared to pay the administrative fee if applicable.
Foreign passport/travel document questions answered incompletely (missing explanations or refusal evidence)
In section 5, applicants frequently check “Yes” or “No” without providing the required details (e.g., not enclosing the original valid foreign passport, not explaining why it’s not in their possession, or not attaching a refusal letter/steps taken). Incomplete answers can lead to follow-up requests and may affect eligibility assessment for a certificate of identity or refugee travel document. If you have a valid foreign travel document, enclose the original; if you don’t, provide a clear written explanation (and include refusal letters, seizure notices, or a detailed timeline of steps taken when required).
References don’t meet the rules (relatives, guarantor, under 18, or less than 6 months known)
Applicants often list a spouse, sibling, parent, or the guarantor as a reference, or choose someone under 18, or someone who has not known them for six months. This can force the Passport Program to request new references, delaying processing. Choose two non-relatives who are not your guarantor, are 18+, have known you at least six months, and provide complete contact details because they may be contacted.
Photo requirements not met (wrong size, altered, missing back-of-photo details, or not certified)
A frequent cause of rejection is submitting photos that match PR card specs instead of travel document specs, using home-printed photos, digital alterations, or photos older than six months. Another common mistake is missing the required studio address/date on the back, using stick-on labels, or not having the guarantor write the certification statement and sign one photo. Use a commercial photographer, ensure the exact dimensions (50 mm x 70 mm) and face size requirements are met, and confirm the back-of-photo information and guarantor certification are completed exactly as instructed.

What is this application form (PPTC 190) used for?
This form is used to apply for a Canadian travel document for adults (age 16 or over) who are stateless or protected persons in Canada. It is for requesting either a Refugee Travel Document or a Certificate of Identity.
Who should use PPTC 190, and what if the applicant is under 16?
Use PPTC 190 if you are 16 years of age or over and are a stateless person or a protected person in Canada. If the applicant is under 16, you must use form PPTC 192 (Child Travel Document Application).
What is the difference between a Refugee Travel Document and a Certificate of Identity?
A Refugee Travel Document is for people in Canada with protected person status (including Convention refugees and persons in need of protection). A Certificate of Identity is for permanent residents who are not protected persons and who are stateless or unable to obtain a national passport.
Can I use a Canadian refugee travel document or certificate of identity to travel to my country of citizenship?
No. Canadian refugee travel documents and Canadian certificates of identity are not valid for travel to the bearer’s country of citizenship.
What documents do I need to include as proof of immigration status in Canada (Section 3)?
You must include a photocopy of one valid status document listed in Section 3 (e.g., permanent resident card, temporary resident permit, verification of status, IRB notice of decision, or positive PRRA results letter). You must also write the document number and issue/expiry dates on the form.
What do I need to provide for identity documents (Section 6), and can I use my immigration status document?
You must provide at least one valid government-issued ID that supports your identity (typically showing name, date of birth, photo, and signature). The identity document(s) in Section 6 must not be the same document you used as proof of immigration status in Section 3.
Do I need a guarantor, and who can be a guarantor for this application?
Yes, you need a guarantor who is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident living in Canada and who has known you personally for at least 6 months. The guarantor must also be in an eligible occupation listed in the instructions (e.g., doctor, lawyer, police officer, pharmacist, principal, professional engineer).
Which parts of the guarantor section must be completed by the guarantor?
The four fields in bold in Section 2 must be completed by the guarantor: the number of months they have known you, their signature, the date, and the location (signed at). The guarantor must also certify and sign the back of one photo and may need to sign/date copies of your identity documents.
What if I don’t know an eligible guarantor for at least 6 months?
You must complete form PPTC 326 (Statutory Declaration in Lieu of Guarantor for a Travel Document). It must be sworn before someone authorized to administer an oath or solemn affirmation, and this may delay processing.
How many photos are required, and what are the key photo rules?
You must submit two identical, unaltered passport photos taken within the last 6 months by a commercial photographer. One photo must have the studio information and date taken on the back, plus the guarantor’s statement certifying likeness and the guarantor’s signature.
Do I need to include my previous Canadian travel document (if I have one)?
Yes—if you have a non-expired Canadian refugee travel document or certificate of identity (even in another name), you must enclose it. If it was lost, stolen, damaged, or inaccessible and not yet expired, you must also complete form PPTC 203 and note that replacement fees may apply.
Do I have to submit any foreign passport or travel document I still have?
Yes. If you have any valid foreign travel document or national passport (or one in which your name appears), you must enclose the original. If you no longer have it, you must explain why in Section 5 and provide details; if IRCC seized it, include the Notice of Seizure (IMM 5265).
What if I never applied for a passport from my country of origin, or my request was refused?
If you have not applied, you must provide a detailed explanation in Section 5. If you were refused, include the refusal letter (and a translation if it’s not in English or French) or explain why you cannot provide it and list the steps you took.
Where do I submit the completed application?
You must submit it by mail to: POD PPT-COI, PO BOX 8100 STN A, SYDNEY NS B1P 0M2, or by courier to: Humanitarian and Identity Operations Branch – PPT-COI, 3050 Wilson Ave, New Waterford NS B1H 5V8. Do not send it to other Passport Program service locations.
What are the fees, and how do I pay?
The fee is CAN$120 for a Refugee Travel Document and CAN$260 for a Certificate of Identity (each includes a CAN$25 consular services fee). You must pay online in Canadian funds and include a copy of the receipt; a separate non-refundable CAN$45 administrative fee applies to replacing a lost or stolen valid document.
