No Need of Iqama for re-entering. After you re-entering contact your HR department make a new one, with a fine of 1000 SR. you have to make a police complain and put an advert in news paper your HR team will do it for you after you come back.

Dear , Your case will be more complicated If you said lost in Canada. As per Jawazat You must leave the country while on vacation / Exit-reentry visa and traveling with original Iqama is prohibited why because for International travelling passport is a valid document but not Iqama.

You must say lost here only and proceed for above said advises.
