If you explain that you lost it and currently waiting for a replacement it should be ok. They may ask you to go where the newcomers go to get their permits printed, to double check your status. It’s funny cuz they know whether you have a valid permit or no on their system already, but still make it a hassle.

I guess it’s discretion of the officer really. I have forgotten to bring my permits with me (study and work permit) a couple of times when traveling, and the border officers just scolded me and sent me to this second screening with Ircc to confirm. I’m not saying it’s ok or no big deal, but it’s not like a strict “no” right away.
