I am travelling from Toronto to Colombo via Hong Kong. My nationality is Pakistani, but I am a refugee in Canada and am currently residing there, so I only have a Canadian travel document, and not a passport. Will I need a transit visa for Hong Kong?
I was denied boarding with Turkish Airlines because they said I had a travel document and my online ETA visa was not stamped, so they made it an issue and denied my boarding.
Courtesy SkyTeam, assuming you hold a valid Travel Document Convention 1951. With a Canadian PR card:
Transiting without a visa is possible for:
Those who are in direct (Air to Air or Air to Sea) transit if holding confirmed onward bookings, continuing their journey within 48 hours and not leaving the transit lounge.
Without a Canadian PR card:

So I think the answer is you don't, and Turkish Airlines made a mistake, based on the information available.
