Please advice me on this...I recently applied(few days back) for the citizenship.I included the the first and last pages of my passports(old and new) as biographical pages.My old passport had a european visa where I lived before moving to Canada(got expired).I did not include the visa copy along with the biographical pages.Will my application be returned? and what you guys suggest if I have to include this as a biographical page.Thanks for you advice in advance.

No, biographical page is this:



Submit also pages with passport cancellation or renewal stamps (passports of some countries may be extended beyond original expiration date), if they're not on biographical page.

[quote author=CIC]3. Biographical page of Passport(s)/Travel Document(s)

The biographical page means the page where it has your name, photo, passport/travel document no., issue date and expiration date.

Provide photocopies of the biographical pages of all passports and/or travel documents (valid and cancelled) for the relevant four (4) year period immediately preceding the date of your application,

Also, provide photocopies of any renewal pages of the passport(s)/travel document(s).[/quote]

It's recommended to send copies of all passport pages. But mostly they are looking for the pages that contain your biographical info. The rest is just a proof of your required residence.
Visa is not considered to be a part of your biographical info - it's your travel record.
