Question regarding citizenship requirement

[sonniu]

Hi,
I will be eligible to apply for citizenship next year. I am looking into the requirements and I have a question regarding the citizenship requirements document checklist. It says to provide “Photocopy of your Record of Landing(IMM 1000) or Confirmation of Permanent Residence (IMM 5292 or IMM 5688). In the next line, it is asking for photocopy of both sides of the permanent resident card.
I have my PR card but I don’t know(/remember) what is IMM 1000/IMM5292/IMM5688). What is it and how can I get it?
Thanks

It is usually the paper you receive in the mail that you use to officially immigrate ("land"). You usually present this paper to a border official and that starts the landing process where you become a PR. Depending on the situation, sometimes the paper is given to you at landing (that was the case for me).

If you lost it, you can request a copy of it:
