The police report will help you a lot
You can apply for PRC ,SIN and Healthcard only when you are back in canada . If you still have a landed immigrant paper , you might be able to fly to canada before jan 03. If you have a problem flying to canada , contact the nearest Canadian consulate for a Travel doc.

What if one of my identity cards is stolen or lost?

This article provides information about your Health Card, SIN Card, Driver's Licence, PR Card, Citizenship Card, Passport (Canadian), and Birth Certificate (Ontario).
Regarding your PR Card, contact the local Canadian Consulate in Abu Dhabi:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/offices/missions/abu-dhabi.html
It's likely that you'll need to apply for a Travel Document (Permanent Resident Abroad) in order to re-enter Canada. If you are outside Canada and you do not have any Canadian immigration document to demonstrate that you are a permanent resident of Canada, you may submit an Application for a Travel Document (Permanent Resident Abroad). You may apply for the Travel Document at a visa office outside Canada. The visa office will undertake an evaluation of the documentation submitted to confirm your identity and to establish whether you are a permanent resident of Canada. Hopefully, you still have a copy of your Confirmation of Permanent Residence.
You can download and review the guide and application for this Document here:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/applications/travel.html
Note that in the application guide, it states that "if your Permanent Resident card was lost or stolen, please provide a police report documenting the circumstances of the loss." If you have not already, you may want to report the loss of your documents to local New York police (don't call 911, visit a local police precinct to file your report).
You may need to complete a Solemn Declaration Concerning a Lost, Stolen, Destroyed or Never-Received Permanent Resident Card (PR Card). Find out more here:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/applications/prcard-lost.html
The Canadian Visa Office will be able to tell you how long it will take to process your documents.
I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.

As far as I know, you can apply for a Travel Document as often as necessary. There is, of course, never a guarantee that one will be issued, only a CIC representative can answer that for you. You will need to prove that you meet residency requirements, which appears not to be a problem in your case.
However, if you are reporting the loss of your PR Card and getting a new one issued to you, would you not simply be able to return using that Card?
Read the guide and application form for the Travel Document carefully. You can find it here:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/applications/travel.html

Thanks Marco for your precious advice ,my worry is mainly related to the second Travel
document application (assuming that I will get it the first time to go and apply for my cards ) . When I get notification from PRC to collect my card will this be helpful to reinforce my second Travel Document request to enter Canada collect my card and settle down for good .

Today I got an amazing call from the Canadian Embassy at Abu Dhabi telling me that
my lost wallet has been found after 12 days from the day it was lost ..
It was really unbelievable news , and I really like to thank the people who provide
advice on this board as well as the Canadian Embassy and Air France staff and of course
the greatest thanks and prayer to GOD .
