Hello everyone,

As you know, we are supposed to submit photocopies of all valid and expired passports or travel documents we had them in the past 5 years. Are photocopies of the biographical pages enough? Or do we have to photocopy every single page and to translate the travel stamps?

Thank you and good luck to everyone.

As per doc checklist, says biographical - does that mean all with stamps too?

Hi user828,
No, it doesn't.
I asked my question after reading the instruction guide (Step 3: Gather your documents). It lists "photocopies of all valid and expired passports or travel documents you had in the past 5 years." However, the document checklist _that was updated on Aug. 2017_ states the following "photocopies of biographical pages of passports or travel documents covering the six (6) years immediately before the date of your application".
As you see the document checklist hasn't been updated to reflect Bill c-6 yet, and there is a contradiction between the Instruction Guide and the checklist itself. That is why I am asking about the required photocopies.
Thanks for your reply.
