Hi Guys,

I landed in Canada in early April 2017 and I had to return back (I really didn't have a choice) in late May 2017 before receiving my pr card. I left the address of a friend (for safe keeping until my return) but he informed me that he didn't receive the card for which I did inform the CIC through the website (as telephone services not available overseas) but they didn't respond.

I applied for a PRTD in November 2017 and it been issued and right now I am planning to go in early April and settle permanently. but my Questions are:
1- When can I apply for a new card what the procedure and should I call the police to report a lost card.
2- Worst case scenario how can a lost PR card harm me (please be informed that I already have a SIN document which I didn't disclose to anyone and it's in my position.
3- how to check if there is a problem arises of this matter and what can I do to clean the mess.

Google is your friend as far as lost PR card is concerned
