Lost PR Card

Dear All,

I am in a dilemma - I just lost my PR Card on a business trip abroad. My card is/was valid until Feb 2009.

Looking at the CIC website, it transpires that you have to fill in a Solemn Declaration Form 5451 for a lost PR Card. This cancels the current PR card in the government database. Then you have to apply for a new card.

The only thing is that I am going to be eligible for citizenship status in a few months time. (Primarily because I have been under contract with several Canadian companies, while travelling abroad on business). So it appears not worth my while to reapply for the PR card and risk losing PR status.

Does anybody have any experience with losing a PR card? Any suggestions would be warmly welcomed.

Thanks,

Nas

where are you now? If you lost your card outside Canada how you return back? On return visa request?
I hope Solemn Declaration Form can be applied when you are in Canada?

If you are going to be (really) eligible (3 years physical presence in Canada) for citizenship, how would you lose the PR status?
