Hi,

PR stamping for US citizen, do we need to send full passport copy or only bio-data page.

(since passport is stuck with another country stamping, we are stuck to send full copy) As of now, i have front page copies, is it suffice ??Could you please advise.?

Thanks,

I doubt you can send a copy of the passport. CIC would need the original passport to stamp the PR visa.
If your passport is pending for another country visa, try requesting CIC for extending the time for you.

If you are from a visa-exempt country like the USA, CIC should just send you the COPR, you won't have to submit your passport.

But, you have to send your passport if and when CIC asks for it. If they do not ask for it, you do not have to send it.

1. Assuming he is a US citizen and has a US passport, then only a copy.

Thanks a lot for confirming this. My last question : Only BIO-DATA copy is enough or full passport?
Bio-data copy - but I'd confirm it with CIC just to avoid any delays
