VoS Application – CoPR Lost: Need Clarification

[thementor]

Hi all,

We lost our CoPR documents and have no copies or photos. While filling out the Verification of Status (VoS) application under Part B, I need help with:

1. Date of Issue: Can I use the immigration visa issue date from our passport stamps since we don’t know the exact CoPR issuance dates, or should we put our first landing date in Canada as Permanent Residents (the difference is around 2.5 months from the date of CoPR issuance to the date of landing) or passport issuance date?
2. Place of Issue: CoPRs were issued abroad in our home country, but we landed at Pearson Airport. Should I enter the visa office abroad or Pearson as the place of issue?
3. Police Report: Is it mandatory to submit a police report for lost CoPRs, or is a written explanation in the form enough?

Appreciate any advice. Thanks!
