Dear All,

Do i have to upload all my previous old passports along with the visas for the application submission? should i mention them in the application and then upload all the scanned old passports with visas...

same is the case with my wives??? although she is my dependent so do i have to do the same for her or just the latest one?

6 passports means it is difficult . Scan old passports for bio pages and stamp,visa pages . For latest passport , scan all the pages

Yes all passports in one pdf .

Hi,

Pls scan all pages of your passports just to be on a safer side and ensure u have it all saved as a single document. U can do this quite easily using Acrobat Reader.

does that include the blank pages in the old passports also? and should i keep the valid passport(latest one) in another adobe file or it should be part of all the passports?

and one more thing shld i mention all the numbers of previous passports in the form or just the latest one. does the application accept expired passports also to be added in the list?

thanx

In the forms, only current passport

You can only upload one file for passport section , so all the passports must be in one file only . For expired passports just scan non blank pages and for current , scan everything

Just for my understanding.

1. Where does CIC explicitly ask for old passports to be scanned and uploaded?

2. Where does CIC explicitly ask for stamps/markings to be scanned and uploaded?

3. Where does CIC explicitly ask for blank pages to be scanned and uploaded?

4. Where does CIC ask for ANYTHING except bio data pages from the valid passport to be scanned and uploaded?

Some people make the forum confusing by providing misinformation. Here is link of CIC mentioned clearly:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/perm/express/intake-complete.asp
In "Mandatory documents for all applicants:
Copy of the biographical data page of a passport or travel document section:
Document Requirements:
A clear and legible copy of the biographical data page of a passport or travel document must be provided.

Here they mentioned only the copy of biographical data page of a passport . . 1. Clearly mentioned "a passport" means singular number, 2. Biographical Data page ... They never mentioned PAGES, only singular number.

Guys can any one show the link or proof where CIC asked multiple passport multiple pages even blank pages?

hello sir

i have already applied for pr via express entry aor june 16th 2018. but all this talk about old passport is confusing. My old passport has a valid US visa and stamps for my previous visits to US which I have mentioned in my application. However, I have only uploaded my recent valid passport and the pages with stamps on this passport.
Should I raise a CSE and upload my old passport details as it has US Visa.
Can it be a cause for rejection?
Or should I just wait till CIC ask for such information and then upload?

Thanks in advance

p.s. only asking because old passport contains valid US visa. else i know its not required.
just confused

I am not sure if this should result in rejection right away, but your previous passport should have been uploaded in the first place. I would suggest you to upload the passport details through a web-form even before them asking for it.
Good luck.
