I lost my old passport

[mometto77]

Hi
I have the citizenship test, all my document with me except the old expired passport which has the landing visa that I got it when I landed to Canada.
However, I have now my new passport and I have only a copy from my expired passport that I lost it from page one to 9 that has landing Visa only. I don't have a copy for other pages that I used when I traveled to visit my family in Saudi Arabia.
Note: the lost passport includes the whole period that I stayed during three years in Canada, because after I applied to citizenship i renewed my passport that I have it now
my question is: are the immigration officer will accept this situation(lost old passport) or they will reject my case and they lose me the citizenship ??

No, expect an RQ to prove you were actually in Canada during those 3 years.  CIC will consider it too convenient that the passport went missing.

When I took the test, there were loads of people who'd lost their landing documents or passport or other documents and they were allowed to take the test but given instructions on what to do.  The passport you can't replace but talk to your local CIC office and ask them if there is anything else you can bring to the exam.

Hi all
Thank you so much for your response.
If I have a copy from my lost passport,is this will help me to avoid  RQ ?
if I provided a full copy from my lost passport, is this will  help me to avoid RQ or not??
can you please give me some examples of the proof of document instead of my lost passport that will help me to avoid RQ?
is it easy to visit the CIC before the day of my test to ask them about the replacement document s instead of my old lost passport??
or no need , I have to leave it untill the test day if they  requested, I have to provide it?
Thanks

I know in Edmonton, it's a lot easier to visit the local CIC office than to call them because I have never found a phone number listed for them.  Find out where yours is and attempt to visit them.  It can be good to know beforehand what you need.  Maybe having the copy is ok.  Maybe you need to arrange something else.  If you know beforehand, maybe you can have it done before the test.
