Hello everybody!
So, I need a little advice about renewing my PR card. My card expired back in 2012 (when I was a kid) and for whatever reason, my parents never renewed my card. To make things worse, around 2017, my parents lost all of my documents showing proof of my landing in the country. When I turned 18, I wanted to apply for citizenship but obviously couldn't because of my missing documents and expired pr. I tried to renew my pr first but again, kept on running into trouble because of my missing documents. I read online that I can apply for a VOS (verification of status) and maybe use that for my renewal. My question is, will a VOS be an acceptable primary identity document? Also, on the VOS application form, it is asking for information about the passport of, I'm guessing, country of origin and I don't have that. Will my application be rejected if I leave that area blank?
