pls lodge a complaint and get it documented that your old passport is lost.it is for your own safety and also for future just incase. am surprise that a police officer will tell you not to lodge for complaint for a 'recent' expired missing international passport even if it is cancelled. this is not about CIC its about other aspects of life. a friend of mine's old passport was found on a crime scene, before he could explain himself, he was 1st behind bars before the case went to court.
also if your applying for visas to some countries they might/will ask if you had other passports......and if you say YES THAT IT WAS STOLEN........where is the proof.........except you were not using the international passport at all
Thank you very much my friend for your precious reply, at last by putting a lot of effort and references police station person got convinced to take a complaint. I did affidavit of lost passport and than submitted it too police station with my passport (old and new) copies.
On photocopy of affidavit he wrote about received date of affidavit and complaint date , which I will submit to CIC. Also they will issue certificate of complaint in few weeks after finishing their legal investigation or other formalities.
I just wrote things in detail just in case god forbid someone need the information like me.
Thank you again my friend for your response.
