Lost old passport - Applying for Citizenship

[Hadeel92]

Hello,

I renewed my passport in Jan 2023, and I cannot seem to find the older passport (which covers most of my eligibility period).
I have the scanned bio page and another few pages scanned as well but not the entire passport.
When applying online, I noticed that they only ask for the bio page as opposed to all pages when applying on paper, so I was thinking of applying online and not mentioning the fact that it is lost, unless they actually ask for it later in the process (in hopes of finding it by then or them not asking for it).
What do you guys think? Should I mention it to them from now or not?

I'm verry worried of having extended processing time and significant delays or even a rejection because of this

I would recommend you try to put in the correct information for your travel dates to avoid any delay. See link here https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/agency-agence/reports-rapports/pia-efvp/atip-aiprp/thr-rav-eng.html

And you can request your travel history at same link here https://atip-aiprp.tbs-sct.gc.ca/en/Home/Privacy

if you do not put in the correct travel dates, you will probably might be called in for an interview during the application process to verify dates etc as they have access to all that information anyways. But take time to put in correct information at the start and no need to rush.

they don’t ask for any old passport copy online but just your PR information.

The best way to not be asked about additional pages (which will not a guarantee, but still) is to have a very precise application, where your days exactly match what IRCC will find when accessing your physical presence, and with a very good buffer, so IRCC has absolutely no doubt about whether you're above 1095 days or not. Say a couple months above 1095 or more.
If you're unlucky and they still ask for it, we'll, you can't provide what you don't have, you'll give them a letter of explanation by then and see what they answer...
