Lost PR card before citizenship test

Hello,

My family and I are taking our citizenship tests tomorrow and my dad was trying to gather all our documents last night.

Unfortunately, he can't find our new PR cards (we applied before applying for citizenship). How would that affect our citizenship test? Would a COPR work?

Also, we are looking to leave the country for three weeks in December. I'm assuming if we ever get granted to take the test without a valid PR card, we would have to ask to have the oath taking and apply for a Canadian passport seeing as we can't enter without a PR card?

Thanks in advance for all you responses! :)

If your dad get citizenship without handing over his PR card (I don't know if this works, but if..) then traveling can only take place with his new Canadian passport, because he won't be a PR any longer..

Hi, same situation here. Was your dad able to take the citizenship test without a PR card? Thank you!
