Air Canada maintains a dedicated Lost and Found process managed through its Central Baggage Office. If you’ve misplaced baggage or items, you should file a report with Air Canada Lost and Found and use the tracking reference provided by the airline to monitor progress. This process is described on Air Canada’s official Lost and Found page. [Air Canada Lost and Found page][6]

For immediate assistance, Air Canada recommends contacting their Lost and Found Center by phone. A typical contact route is through the airline’s Central Baggage Office Call Centre, and in some regions there are specific numbers listed on their site. If you’re in Los Angeles or the U.S., there are commonly published numbers for lost item inquiries, though you should verify the current contact details on Air Canada’s site before calling.

Public coverage over the years indicates that airlines, including Air Canada, do work to locate and return items left on board or at airports, though results can vary by item type and location. Customers are advised to report quickly and provide thorough details (flight number, seat, description) to improve recovery chances. Several third-party and news sources have documented both successful recoveries and delays in baggage handling. [CBC News coverage on luggage issues][1][3]
