Lost Citizenship Card & Passport - Not Born in Canada

[januspl]

Im in a thick situation. I lost my Canadian citizenship card and Passport and my original Polish birth certificate. Reviewing the requirements I barely meet them when I review the forms for a replacement card. I have my drivers licence for ID and my BC health Care card. My family immigrated in 1990 and we all became citizens in 1993. We all gained our Citizenship through sponsorship and trying to contact CIC is terrible. Is there any office, government agency or place I can contact, seems that Im hitting a dead end and there's no assistance. Phone numbers, links, websites with good info would be great.

If you need some information like when exactly you became a citizen etc. you can actually ask for information on that from CIC. You should go to http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/citizenship/search-how.asp to read about how you order this information. If you need to know when you became a PR, you can also get a copy of your record of landing, see http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/certcopy.asp

In order to gain your birth certificate back or a true copy of it, you might start at the Polish embassy or google the proper authority in Poland and ask them if you can take care of this through mail or email. I am sure there is a way. See Polish embassy here: http://www.polishembassy.ca/
