IRCC request all copy of all pages of my valid passport

[BrizoAthena]

Hi there,

Under what circumstances would IRCC request for a copy of all pages of my valid passport? I am December 2019 inland spousal sponsorship applicant. Medical done in September 2020, Biometric done in November 2020, provide evidence of co-habitation with my wife in Canada & submit evidence of my Travel History from CBSA on December 28th, 2020.........And now, they ask for all copy of all pages of my valid passport. I really want to know why?

To check entry exit stamps to confirm travel.

Can’t they check from the CSBA record that we submit? My pages are all blank, didn’t get to go anywhere because of COVID.....

I don't know, but if the pages are all blank, not much to worry about.

As I understand CBSA records were not 'complete' until relatively recently (in that they did not have complete capture of all entry/exits). Could be just double-checking.

just give them what they asked for, it’s a bit irritating to ask for such documents, don’t give an idiot officer a reason to put you into problem. I have never heard of this type of requests and 100% certain is not in their policies & procedures. Some of them sometimes just expose their incompetence by how they act
