Is this used for checking CoPR (IMM 5688) information correct or not after landing? Does anyone know about this?

This is for when you lose your documents, for whatever reason.

Thanks for zardoz's answer. I guess what you meant is for "Application for a replacement of an immigration document". However, I actually want to ask for the one "Application for a verification of status of an immigration document". Do you have any idea on this one? Thanks!

Look at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5545ETOC.asp#5545E2
It tells you what the document is for.

Yes, I just read it. It said that "A Verification of Status document will contain information that appeared on your original Record of Landing, This document can be used when you must provide proof of historical immigration information, such as the date and place of entry to Canada."

I am a little confused now. Since people will have a client copy of CoPR after landing which includes those landing information. What's the difference between the client copy of CoPR and Verification of Status document?
