I do not have an electronic or hard copy of my study permit - HELP PLEASE

[mitrang75]

Hello Folks,

FOA: Congratulations to everyone who have received an ITA this year. I have received an ITA on Jan 11th draw.

Here is my situation. I have lost my e-copies or hard copy of my Study Permit. I am aware this is very rare and unusual or casual on my part.

What should I do? I know that it is possible to apply for a VOS or replacement of document.

My question to everyone is shall I apply to get a replacement document? If "YES", how long does it usually takes to have it mailed by CIC?

Any input or guidance will be much appreciated.

Thanks.

I went through that link. I understand that it asks to make an application. I just want to know how long does it usually takes for them to process and provide a copy. Is it quick?
Also, I tried to reach my college. They refused by saying that they do not have a copy on record.

This is what I found when reading the guide to fill the form for replacement for immigration document:

Note: If you are requesting a replacement of a temporary resident document, you may only apply for a valid Work Permit, Study Permit, or a Permit to Come Into or Remain in Canada. A replacement document can only be issued for temporary resident documents that have not yet expired.

It clearly says that only valid and not expired permits can be replaced.

In my case however, the permit has expired long ago. What shall I do?
Is it compulsory to provide a copy of study permit?
