You should probably tell us the complete story... Did your wife take or destroy them?

My wife took it and she is already in Canada together with my son. I want to follow them for my son but my wife took all the documents. My passport, visa, confirmation of permanent residency. My wife is the principal applicant. Is there a process on how can I request for new visa and confirmation of permanent residency.

You can apply for replacement documents but I'm unsure how you would define their "loss". You probably would need to declare them as "stolen" and formally report this to the police. The bigger problem may be if your wife has reported that you are undergoing a separation and/or divorce to CIC, thereby removing you as a dependent. Getting CIC to replace documents may prove to be more of a challenge if that's the case.

CIC personally and clearly informed me that once a visa is issued it will never be issued again , if for any reasons the PA did not use it t land a new application need to be submitted and start from scratch .

This is only applicable if the document is not used. It is not applicable if, for example, the passport containing the IM-1 visa and the COPR are lost in transit to the applicant. See http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=044&top=12

Outside Canada

You may have the following current, valid immigration documents replaced:

temporary resident visa counterfoil;
permanent resident visa counterfoil;
confirmation of permanent residence;

No, but they HAVE been stolen, regardless of it being the wife who "stole" them. They were not hers to take to Canada.

It is impossible (if you are talking about legitimate document).

do i have to notify my visa office about lost?
No.

i also absentmindedly forget to include that i was once denied a US visa before in my application but my spouse said if i correct the form and inform, it may delay our process. what do you think i should do.
Yes, you better inform CIC. Otherwise they will figure it out and it will be a problem.
