The guide states that the following is required when applying for a PR Card.

One (1) main identity document
A photocopy of one of the following:
  • your valid passport or travel document or
  • the passport or travel document you had when you became a permanent resident (if applicable, include the passport page that was stamped when you arrived in Canada and became a permanent resident)
Note: The copy should show:
  • the document type and number;
  • issue and expiry date;
  • your name;
  • your photo; and
  • your date of birth

Does anyone know if I provide a copy of my current passport then do I need to include a copy of every page or just the photo bio page? I used my previous passport when I soft-landed and I have never held a PR card before. All of the information it's asking for is shown on the photo page of my passport.

Thanks.
