Please advise: Lost application and sending a second one

[Vanguard]

Hello!

I sent out my application last week via Canada Post Xpresspost and it has been stuck at Halifax ever since Sunday... I called the post several times and they say they are doing everything they can to locate my file but so far no progress.

I want to send another application because I will be going on vacation in August for a month and I want to make sure my application is received before I leave. Should I attach a cover letter and a proof of the first delivery? If CIC has in fact received my first application, would sending the second one complicate my situation in anyway?

Any advice is much appreciated!
