Applying for Citizenship with VoS instead of CoPR

[zheka]

I've lost my Confirmation of Permanent Residence (CoPR) document and requested the Verification of Status (VoS). Recently I have received an e-mail with a PDF page of VoS. The accompanying e-mail have stated that I am not going to receive any other paper except this electronic document.
Now I need to apply for the citizenship. I wonder if I should just print out this document and include it with my application along with an explanation letter? Also I have heard that one should bring the original CoPR to the ceremony. Should I bring the printed VoS instead (when time comes..) ?

Thank you

I have the same issue. I lost COPR so I applied for VOS. May I know how long it took you to receive that email from CIC?

It took less than two months despite the frightening estimated six.

I just called IRCC and the agent confirmed that the printout of the VOS should be sufficient for both the application and the ceremony. Still would like to hear some personal experiences though.

do we have to send an explanation letter together with VOS?

It won't harm I guess.. I've just included few lines like "Attaching the VOS document instead of a lost COPR" (expand the abbreviations to get it more convincing..)

Worked like charm, no questions were asked at all.
