My mother name is different on my passport and birth certificate.

Do I have to provide letter of explanation on why it's difeerent to cic? Is there anything else I need to do or provide any additional documents/information to support the validity and correctness of both passport and birth certificate?

Does your document checklist ask you to submit your birth certificate ?
Because a birth certificate is usually not required.

I haven't got ITA yet, but I wanted to be prepared just in case if they ask for both. I am not sure even for passport if I need to submit the page with photo and my name or do I have to scan entire passport and submit it, because mother's name is on the last page which I am not sure if CIC will ask for.

You won't need your birth certificate.
