How to deal with the loss of Canadian passport and visa?

Canada is a popular country for China people to study abroad. Studying in Canada, how to protect your property and safety is the primary concern of every international student. Some international students are nervous, or have lost their passports and study visas for other reasons. Although the probability of this kind of thing happening is low, it always happens around us. Next, I'll summarize the handling methods of lost passports and visas.

1. Try to find a copy of the lost passport and visa.

Copies of passports and visas can reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles in the later self-help process and better cooperate with staff to improve work efficiency. If you can't find a copy, you'd better find the visa number /ClientID.

Report to the nearest police station.

Use Google and other mapping software to search the nearest RCMP office and provide the staff with their own documents, such as driver's license and student ID card. Tell the truth about the process of losing your passport. Then the staff will give you a report number, CaseNumber, which must be kept and used when you reissue the certificate.

On the one hand, the purpose of reporting the case is to help the police see if anyone has found a passport and handed it over to the police station; On the other hand, it is to prevent criminals from stealing passports to commit illegal acts. If you have a report of loss from the police station, you don't have to worry.

Step 3 reissue the visa

Most people's visas are in their passports, so passports and visas are often lost at the same time. Go to the website of Immigration Canada and download the required forms for applying for replacement. After filling in the form as required, attach the case number, the original passport and the copy of the original visa when reporting. Please send or mail the above information to the Canadian Immigration Processing Center in person. It is recommended to send it in person, which can reduce the time for reissue and avoid unnecessary troubles caused by the loss of letters when mailing.

4, while waiting for the visa to be reissued, prepare the information needed for the passport.

The required materials include the following:

(1) Application Form: 1 Application Form for China Passport/Travel Permit/Return Certificate is truthfully and completely filled in;

(2) Photos: Two recent bareheaded color photos (photo size is 48? 33 mm, head width 2 1 to 24 mm, head length 28 to 33 mm, photo background is white);

(3) Lost passport and copy of legal entry and exit certificate, such as entry and exit stamp and copy of Canadian visa. If there is no copy of the passport, the number of the lost passport, the date of issuance, the issuing authority and the validity period of the passport must be provided;

(4) One of the following documents or a copy thereof: domestic identity card, domestic household registration book or birth certificate;

(five) the original and photocopy of the Canadian residence certificate (such as maple leaf card, work or study permit, visa, etc.). ). If the original is lost together, you should apply to the relevant departments of the Canadian government for a replacement; Maple leaf card needs to be copied on both sides;

(six) a copy of the visa (study, work, tourist visa or maple leaf card);

(7) If the passport has expired, a description of the expired passport shall be submitted;

(8) To apply for a new passport due to the change of name, you must also submit the relevant certification documents for using the new name in Canada, a copy of the domestic household registration book (born in China) and a written statement of the applicant's application for name change.
