Scans of all passport pages for citizenship app

[Askhar131]

Even for the online app, scanning the entire passport does not hurt. It is common for IRCC to ask some applicants to send scans of the entire passport at a later stage which adds 1 extra month of wasted time. I believe it might be better to send the entire passport scan at the beginning. Thats just personal opinion

From what I see here, it's not common at all for IRCC to ask. Infrequent at best. Perhaps not 'rare', but not at all common. ("Common for some" doesn't really mean much).

I think it's a waste of time for most, but for anyone who wishes, go ahead. I think providing more info than requested/required is more likely to cause delays unless there's some specific reason to do so.

My heuristic? Follow the instructions. If in doubt - follow the instructions.

And my spouse did have to submit passport scans. Given some specifics of the case, I knew we'd likely have an interview or other steps - which we got through, no problem. We actually did provide a bit more that responded to the issue - but they still wanted an interview.

Point being, we can't say that files are 'delayed' because of asking for passport scans when the likelihood is the related delay is because of case specifics.

I was asked to submit a scan of all pages of my eligible passports from the last five years. This request delayed my application processing by at least a month, possibly even two. However, my application also required additional supporting documents (I got a letter to send those after they processed my passport pages), which would have contributed to some delay, though perhaps not as long as the 7.5 months it ultimately took from submission to the oath ceremony. Still, I don’t see any issue with submitting the scanned passport pages as part of the application process - Knowing that providing this wouldn't guarantee an expedited processing of the case - There are a lot more factors contributing to the processing timeline.

Hey, I was also recently asked to submit all my passport pages. I was told to send the docs by email, were your request also through email?
Did you get a confirmation from the officer after you submitted your passports? if so, how long did it take them to confirm the receipt of the docs?

how long does it take for you guys to get it approved after sending the passports copy

Hey did you get an answer for this question? I was asked for this but dont know how long I should wait for confirmation before being worried whether they have received it or not.
