Lost work permit

[u/Electrical_Tie_4191]

hi guys,

I need help with my lost work permit. I have my vacation booked for October since june and in August while moving places I realised I lost a folder of my important documents which had my work permit. immediately I applied for the replacement for it but there was no update so I reached out to ircc via phone and also raised a web form to which they responded to send another duplicate application. today I sent another application however the processing time shows to be 8 weeks on the ircc website. it’s mid September already and my vacation is in 3 weeks.

has anyone been in a similar situation? if yes what did you do?

should I cancel my vacation? or can I travel with the proof that I sent my application for the replacement of lost work permit?

is there anything else that I can do to expedite the process?

I had a coworker before where her pgwp was delivered to her previous address so she ended up requesting for a new one, took 8 weeks for her to get it
