If your study permit is lost or stolen, immediately report it to local law enforcement to obtain a police report. This document is crucial for proving the incident to immigration authorities.
Next, contact Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to apply for a replacement permit. Submit a completed application form, the police report, a copy of the lost permit (if available), and proof of status (like a passport or visa). Processing times vary, so apply promptly to avoid disruptions.
While waiting, keep copies of your application and police report as temporary proof of your legal status in Canada.
