Landing Document Replacement Consultant Toronto
Our Landing Document Replacement Consultant Toronto service helps residents request a Verification of Status for missing historical landing records. Mirzoyan Immigration Services confirms why you need the record and gathers the identifying information for your application. We explain the available document and keep a VOS request separate from amendments and PR card services.
✓ Confirm whether Verification of Status fits the document need
✓ Reconstruct landing and identity details from available records
✓ Separate replacement, amendment and PR card services
Who is this service for
This service is for people who need evidence of a historical immigration record or help addressing an error in that record.
People missing an IMM 1000 or COPR
Your original Record of Landing or Confirmation of Permanent Residence is lost, damaged or unavailable, and another process asks for evidence of the historical record.
People needing a Verification of Status
A pension, citizenship, identification or administrative matter requires confirmation of the immigration record held by IRCC rather than a new permanent resident card.
People dealing with record errors
A name, date of birth or other detail may be wrong, and the facts need review to distinguish an amendment request from a VOS request.

Document issues we check before submission
Historical document requests rely on identifiers that connect your current identity to the original landing record. See the national landing document page.
Missing historical identifiers
Old passport numbers, client identifiers, landing dates and available document copies can help IRCC locate the record. Uncertain details should be identified, not guessed.
Name changes without a clear link
Marriage records, legal name-change documents or other civil evidence may be needed to connect the historical landing name with current identification.
Expecting a duplicate original COPR
A Verification of Status confirms information in the historical record. It is distinct from receiving another original Confirmation of Permanent Residence document.
Eligibility requirements at a glance
A Verification of Status document confirms information from an immigration record. It is not an exact replacement of an original Record of Landing or Confirmation of Permanent Residence, and a request to amend an error uses a different process.
| Requirement | Basic requirement |
|---|---|
| Historical immigration record | The request concerns a Canadian immigration record such as an Immigrant Visa and Record of Landing or a Confirmation of Permanent Residence that IRCC can verify. |
| Verification rather than original copy | IRCC issues a Verification of Status containing information from the historical record. The applicant should not describe the request as recovery of the original landing paper or an identical duplicate. |
| Record date and custodian | Check the record date and follow Guide 5545’s current custodian and submission instructions. Some historical records are directed to Library and Archives Canada, or to The Rooms for pre-1949 Newfoundland landing records. |
| Identity and record matching | The applicant provides identity, immigration history and available record details, plus the supporting copies required by IMM 5009, so IRCC can locate and match the record. |
| Amendments use another process | A request to correct information on an IMM 1000, IMM 5292 or IMM 5688 uses the amendment process and form IMM 5218 rather than a standard Verification of Status request. |

Landing Document Replacement Fees and Processing Times
These are government charges in Canadian dollars. Professional fees and other application costs are separate.
| Government fee | Amount (CAD) | When it applies |
|---|---|---|
| Verify your status (VOS) | $30 CAD per document | Applies to a Verification of Status request for an eligible immigration record. |
The $30 CAD fee is for Verification of Status, not an exact duplicate of the original landing document. Guide 5545 lists limited fee exemptions for specified assistance recipients; confirm eligibility and payment instructions before filing.
Processing times
Use IRCC's current processing-time tool and select Verification of Status or replacement of an immigration document if listed. The displayed time is a changing estimate and historical-record searches may depend on the information supplied.

Frequently asked questions
What if I lost my Landing paper in Canada?
IRCC does not issue a duplicate of an old Record of Landing or a completed Confirmation of Permanent Residence. Request a Verification of Status document instead. The government fee is $30, and processing changes. See our landing document replacement guide and IRCC’s application package before filing.
How much should I pay for an immigration consultant in Canada?
Professional fees depend on the work included. Mirzoyan Immigration Services confirms its flat professional fee and scope in writing before retained work begins. The separate IRCC fee for a Verification of Status is $30. Review the firm’s fee information and IRCC’s fee list before deciding what help you need.
What is a landing document in Canada?
A landing document is a completed Record of Landing or Confirmation of Permanent Residence that records the grant of permanent resident status. A COPR issued before travel is not proof that landing is complete; it must be validated or completed. These records are not travel documents. IRCC explains COPR status.
How long does PR card renewal take in Canada?
PR card renewal and landing-document replacement are separate processes. For a PR card, check IRCC’s live processing-time category rather than relying on an old estimate. If you lost a Record of Landing or completed COPR, use the Verification of Status category instead. Our PR card guide explains the renewal route.
What is verification of status in Canada?
A Verification of Status is an IRCC document showing historical immigration information, such as the date and place permanent residence was granted. IRCC issues it on plain paper and says it cannot be used as a travel or identity document. The fee is $30. Read IRCC Guide 5545 before applying.
