Start the replacement immediately rather than waiting until you need to travel. A permanent resident card is replaced through IRCC, a lost confirmation of permanent residence needs a verification of status request, and travel documents follow their own route. Replacing any of these takes far longer than most people expect.

After you apply and pay the fee, IRCC sends a biometric instruction letter with a deadline and collection locations. Give them promptly — the file usually does not advance until you do.

For temporary residence applications they are generally valid for a set number of years, so you may not need to repeat them for a new application within that period.

Commonly for permanent residence, for longer temporary stays, for certain occupations such as healthcare and childcare, and for refugee claimants. It must be done by an IRCC-designated panel physician who sends results directly.

Usually for permanent residence, and sometimes for temporary applications, covering countries where you have lived for a defined period. They take time to obtain, so start early.

Anything not in English or French generally needs a translation, often certified, accompanied by the original. Poor or uncertified translations are a common cause of requests for more information.
