    Report the loss of your Canadian citizenship card to local police. Keep the occurrence report safe and secure given by a police officer because not only you need it to apply for a certificate but also may be required if some how your card is used somewhere to gain or found with non-owner.

    Immigration Refugees & Citizenship Canada (IRCC), formerly Citizenship & Immigration Canada (CIC) stopped issuing laminated Canadian citizenship cards in February 2012. Not sure about the reason but I think perhaps government may have realized that a laminated document becomes void and it does not make sense to issue void cards to prove their status.

    To change your name on your citizenship card, you will first need to get your name legally changed through the office of Registrar General for your province in Canada. Moreover, you will receive a Canadian citizenship certificate instead of a card now. To change name on citizenship certificate, click on the following link:
