I'm not aware of any piece of paper that you have to carry?

Looks like someone made an opposie, better tell them you “lost” it and they need to send you a new one.

Wow I definitely just chucked it lol. Just another dumb rule. Is that just for restricted firearms?

Your PAL came attached to a white piece of paper. At the bottom is a condition that you must be able to present the paper w/card upon request of a peace officer. If you also have RPAL it has a few more conditions written on it.

Lot of people laminate it or make a digital copy.

Wallet in a waterproof/zip lock bag? Laminate the card?

There's so much space on the pal cards I don't know why it can't be printed on the card itself
