The part was identified to be a Directional Guide Vane that had separated from the bypass duct, had punctured the outer cowl but had not gone completely through.
The Canadian TSB reported it is being suspected that the incident occurred in flight, the flight crew however did not report any abnormal indications or vibrations of the engine. The air operator is investigating.
