If I decide to submit PP as piece of identification do i need to submit both expired & renewed PP
or only renewed PP is sufficient?

I'm only talking about piece of ID (as I know I have to submit passports for previous 4 years in the other case)

The most recent passport(not expired) will be sufficient as ID.

Hi Zoya_99, could you please let me that passport could be used as ID document although the biographical pages are required in a previous section. I should have submitted my application a month ago, but me and my wife don't have a second piece of ID (We have passports, health card and PR card) we don't have a driver license. we applied for Ontario photo card but we did not receive it yet.

Yes, you can use passport as ID for sure; I also confirmed this from call center

Thanks Zoya_99. so you are going to make 2 copies of passports or just one.
Two copies; but make a table of content mentioning you are attaching PP as ID also

Not yet. I have already applied for the Ontario photo card and waiting for it. I am scared that the new regulations take place any moment :eek:
I think you should apply without waiting. Dont take risk

Yes you are correct. Just I am worried that my application returned back asking for another ID, and the new regulations take place before I can resubmit it again...............I am soooooo confused ::)

Since the Citizenship Application Guide includes a passport as the type of ID you can use, how can you doubt that CIC will accept it?

"5. Two (2) pieces of personal identification

Both pieces of identification should show your name and date of birth, one of which must have your photo on it.

Examples include:
•a Canadian driver’s licence
•a Canadian health insurance card
a copy of the biographical page of your passport/travel document, etc."

yes I know. but I someone told me that CIC agent asked him for another ID when he submitted his application with a copy of passport. Did any one hear that from any applicant...
