got it. thanks a lot for the info.yes but not a police clearance certificate
it should be a certificate stating the details about your lost passport and confirming that you have indeed lost it its just to make sure you are not hiding anything from CIC try searching the web for lost passport certificate for your country
so use that cert in place of the lost passport and attach the ones you have
Also, do i have to get all the photocopied docs attested by the notary?
