Supporting Letter content for missing Landing Documents

[samreentariq]

Hi All,

I had a quick question and seeking advice from anyone who has followed this route. My landing papers and COPR are unfortunately lost, one can still submit the citizenship application with an accompanying letter explaining the situation as to why a landing paper copy is not provided. Has anyone do this? If so can one let me know what contents or how I should draft this accompanying letter please.

I think you need it during the interview or oath. If you lost it you can order a copy for $30. If you don't receive it by interview/oath, you can show the $30 receipt and explain.
