What should the RCIC advise?

Submitting an application to the Minister is not the appropriate step at this stage. The focus should be on securing the Member's approval for the client's in-person appearance, which falls under the jurisdiction of the hearing process rather than requiring ministerial involvement.

Requesting a travel document is unrelated to the process of appearing in front of the Member. This choice pertains to immigration status and travel requirements rather than the immediate need for the Member's permission to allow the client’s in-person participation in the hearing.

Re-applying for a PRTD (Permanent Resident Travel Document) is also not relevant to the current situation. This option addresses travel documentation for permanent residents but does not pertain to the procedural requirement of obtaining the Member's approval for the client's appearance in the hearing.
