I tried calling them everyday, but same answer "expercing high volume of calls" I couldn't get hold of anyone, I emailed and even created a thread. Still cant talk to anyone.
January 2019 - Citizenship Application
- Thread starter Rockstar16
- Start date
u just apply to renew/replace (it takes 16 days) and in the application you tick that the pr card was stolen
also for stolen pr cards u need to submit:
- a solemn declaration if your PR card was lost, stolen, destroyed or you didn’t receive it within 180 days of immigrating to Canada.
The time varies, it lists 16 days at the moment, but I know a couple of people waiting longer (like a month to be told they're missed a signature). I also know people who got it in about a week earlier this year. It tends to be that time from applications received and opened too (a bit like how AOR can be a long time after received).
Report it as stolen, ensure you do the solemn declaration above. Whether or not you want to get a new one depends on plans or likelihood of need to leave country in the next few months (test->oath can be 3-4 months, then 2 days + more time to get a passport or cost to get urgently).
I wish I have the time. My test is in 19 days. By the time I have it shipped I dont think Ill get it back in time.
Will do this today. May I ask you though, why would someone file this ? ( They don't want to renew PR )
as of now my only concern is my citizenship test, since they asked me to show up with my PR card.
If you do not want a new PR Card right away, you must submit a solemn declarationthat states that your PR Card was lost or stolen. To make a declaration, use a Solemn Declaration form (IMM 5451).

you can also call The IRCC Call Centre number is 1-888-242-2100.
sorry but it was stolen 4 months ago why wait until last second? when you lose something especially like identity cards, credit cards you report it the same day. oversight from you or i dnt know. just google the alternatives. the above is quiet clear. you can just call the ircc and wait until they pick up.
The best way to reach them is Twitter. But, you can't share personal details and they can't resolve specific case / issue through twitter.
You must have followed this: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/new-immigrants/pr-card/apply-renew-replace.html as soon as you lost your PR card.
Because I did report it to the police. But in the police report it says "wallet" doesn't actually state the PR card. then I went to registry and the lady was like, oh you dont need to apply for it since you getting your citizenship . Go figure.
For test, proof you have reported is as stolen is fine. Only reason to renew is if you want to travel soon. Even once you pass test can take a while to get oath and passport.
For the police report, can’t you amend it to
list PR card explicitly? I would do that. By the IRCC form is the most crucial. They may want the police report number.
I do appreciate your help. I will try and see if police will let me amend the report. Thank you
