Replace Your Lost or Damaged IMM 1000 or Confirmation of Permanent Residence COPR

If you've misplaced or damaged your Record of Landing (IMM 1000) or Confirmation of Permanent Residence (IMM 5292 or IMM 5688), obtaining a replacement is crucial. These documents serve as official proof of your permanent resident status in Canada and are often required for various legal and administrative purposes.

Why Is Replacing Your Landing Document Important?

Your landing document is essential for:​

  • Accessing Government Benefits: Programs like the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) or Old Age Security (OAS) may require proof of your landing date to determine eligibility.​

  • Passport Renewals: Some countries mandate a copy of your landing document when renewing passports from within Canada.​

  • Citizenship Ceremonies: While not required for the citizenship application itself, you must present your landing document during the oath-taking ceremony to have it officially stamped, signifying the end of your permanent resident status.​

Required Documentation

To initiate the replacement process, you'll need:​

  • A valid government-issued photo ID (e.g., passport, driver's license).​

  • An additional piece of identification (e.g., health card, SIN card).​

Additional documents may be required depending on your specific situation.​
