Lost Passport with Canadian Visitor Visa – How to Transfer to New Passport?

[muhammad_kashif]

Hi everyone,
I’m a Pakistani citizen living and working in Berlin, Germany on a Blue Card. My Canadian visitor visa was issued at April 2025 and valid until September 2027 on my Pakistani passport.

While visiting Canada recently, I lost my passport that contained the visa. I filed a police report, obtained a new passport from the Pakistani embassy in Toronto, and have now returned to Berlin.

Since my valid Canadian visitor visa is in the lost passport, I want to know:

• What is the official procedure to get that lost visa transferred or reissued in my new passport?
• Do I need to apply for a new visa, or is there a specific process for lost visas?

Any guidance or links to official instructions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

You will probably have to reapply with police report and all that information but this is worth exploring.

It's not applicable for a visitor visa.

In this case the only option is to reapply.
