A visa is not an ID i believe. U need to have a DL, health card or provincial photo id
What if I don't have it with me here in Canada? i left it all in my country and the only id I have here is my new and expired passport. Can I
just submit one photocopy of current passport and the other one is the expired one?

Here is what instruction guide of application says. Now make ur choice


photocopies of two (2) pieces of personal identification.

Examples of identification you can use include:

  • a copy of the biographical page of your passport/travel document (as requested above and also can be one (1) of your pieces of personal identification)
  • driver’s licence
  • health insurance card
  • senior citizen identification card
  • age of majority card
  • foreign identity documents, such as a passport or government issued identification documents

Exactly as what @Zmaqsood said, do you even live in Canada? Why would one leave the driver’s license or provincial health ID card in home country unless s/he is just traveling back and forth and staying in Canada temporarily.

That’s the real question you might be faced at interview with the officer even if you met the 1,095 days requirement. Even people who actually lived/worked in Canada with many IDs get asked for Residence Questionnaires. Especially now you have the USA visa and seems like there were frequent visits to US.

So, Good luck

But that is the incomplete list. I have it but it is in the Philippines since I am still finishing my course, I forgot to bring it here. Do you think my confirmation of landing/permanent residency paper will be okay?

And you can’t ask someone to just make a copy or scan to send/email you ?

My dear your posittion not making sense to me as an ordinary person then what on the earth you think you can make it sense to a cycologist kind of immigrations or citizenship officer. any way just to help you:

Applicants must be able to prove that they are who they say they are.

Among the documents required for an application, they must provide at least two documents to establish their identity. Both pieces of identification must show the applicant’s name and date of birth, and at least one document must have a photograph of the applicant.

Applicants residing outside Canada may not be able to provide Canadian identity documents. Applicants can provide foreign identity documents that are equivalent to Canadian identity documents, such as a passport or government-issued identification documents.
