I live in Canada as PR for past 2 years. I lost my wallet yesterday on the road near my home which unfortunately contained my PR card as well in it. I checked CIC for all details and I figured it is something to be done as paper based application for replacement of lost card. I just want to know from someone who has had experience like me about how long it takes for the process and is it too much a big deal with the procedures !! Thanks in advance .

Start by reporting your lost wallet including your PR card to the police. You will have to wait 6 weeks before you qualify for a new PR card.

First you have to file a report about loss of document. Then you apply for a new card, including copy of the report you have made. Good luck on getting a new card. If you spent some time out of Canada and one of those secret worshipping Hermetic clowns decides to get extra suspicious, they will make you wait indefinitely for a replacement. But you should be able to do pretty much anything you want to within Canadian borders, as long as you remain PR in good status. If any services or benefits are denied to you for lack of the physical PR card, consider consulting with a lawyer and bringing a legal action for discriminatory practices.
