To clarify all the passports relevant to the 4 yrs prior to the dt of application.
Questions regarding work will come up. You might have the chance to say that you graduated. And yes, you should get the typo fixed..?

You can change the postal code on line address correct...

Nothing to worry whatever they ask you reply do not say anything from your side

they are interested to ensure that you are present in Canada for required number

of days... that what they are interested...

When did you get your current passport?
If you got it more than 4 years before the application (or 6, if you applied under the new rules),
then that's the only one you need. It doesn't matter when the previous one was issued,
but it does matter when the current one was.

Just take both with you to make things easier. They do ask to bring all current and expired passports for the past 4 years. My wife has 4 passports since 1997, 3 expired and 1 active they took copies of all her passports during interview. So you never know, just take them both, if they ask you for the expired one you have it there with you.

Don't think so. But it does not hurt to take the document in case they ask. But I doubt they will

- I have complete my degree. Should I need to mention this at the interview.

Again, don't think so. They might ask during the interview, they asked me what my job is and how I make a living

- There is type error in my wife address "postal code". Is that worth to mention there.

You can change it online, it takes 2 weeks about for them to change. You have another possibility to change it on the test invite if you already got that I assume. But only change it there after asking. I would definitely change it online so it is in the system

- How old passports do we need to carry with ourselves. I have one from 2008 and other is currently active. Do I take both.

They want to see all passport of the relevant period. During application, you had to send in copies of the passports of the last 4 (or 6 under new rule I assume) years, and they want to go check in the passport if you have additional stamps that were done after you sent in the copies. Also they check the stamps, when you left and came back. You need to bring copies of the biometrical page again of all the relevant passports, it's written on the list of what to bring to the test

Thanks

Maybe under the new rules. But under the old rules they don't care about "new stamps", they just want to verify the originals.

No it isn't. You don't need any copies, just the originals.
