You need to put it your travel history as best as you can remember. 2014-2016 really isn't that long ago that you can't remember the dates. With some effort I can remember trips from 2001.
In addition to putting the dates down, you have the option to release your travel history to IRCC.

Since you flew in and out of the country, CBSA will have a complete record of your travels.
Well, you know when you entered and it was only 5 years ago so you should be able to at least guess when you left!
Put down what you can and then explain why you don't have the old passport. I assume your embassy took the old passport and gave you a new one, right? If that's the case, then it's not a big deal, they won't ask you to try and get the old passport back from the embassy (which is not possible).
Is there any way in which you can get the real dates of exit? Your emails, maybe you posted on Facebook, anything like that? Did you book tickets through a travel agent?
If it is simply impossible for you to get the dates, then there's nothing you can do, right? I mean, what can anyone do to help you? Do the best you can and be honest.
A citizenship application is highly unlikely to be denied just for something like this. IRCC has access to airline records etc and can check up on your travels.
