Firstly many Canadians go to Jamaica on holiday. Secondly during these holiday times you might very well lose your passport. When you lost your passport you will need to report this to the Jamaican police as lost or stolen. The police will give you a card with the case number on for the report. When you contact the Canadian High Commission in Jamaica for assistance you will need to complete the forms and add the police card to your application form. They will then process this and issue you with a temporary travel document. This will allow you to complete your holiday and leave for Canada when you are done. Finally this is one of the most common issues with Embassies today.
