Single journey travel document

[ayman_dayem]

hello guys ,
I'm a little bit confused because i got a passport request and they told me to send my Pass but unfortunately it's expired. They told me that they will issue a single journey travel document and my question is do i still have to send them pass photos ? Or no need for that

Please provide a lot more context that what you've given. Since you're posting in the family class forum, I'm assuming you're applying for a spousal sponsorship. So you're saying your passport has expired and you have received a passport request?

In general, you must provide them with what they ask, no matter whether or not you think they need it. CIC will not be issuing you a passport. They've asked for passport-sized photos.

Like the other reply, I too am a bit confused as you haven't given much information here.

In any event, you MUST have a valid passport. You need to renew your passport ASAP and I would send both the old and new one in IF they have requested an original passport (they will really only be interested in the new / in date passport). I don't know what country you are a national of or whether or not you are visa-exempt. You MUST travel with a valid passport and land with the CoPR, I doubt they will issue you a CoPR until you have a valid passport (as passport information is included on the CoPR).

From what I know of this poster from the Vienna thread, I believe he is a national of a country where it is literally not possible to (safely) get a passport these days (like Syria, for example). @ayman_dayem, the best thing to do would be to just ask the VO or whoever has requested the photos. My guess is that you do still need to send them, as they are for your COPR, whereas the travel document is just a temporary replacement for your passport. (Just a guess, though -- you definitely should just ask them directly!)

So you mean they asked you for the photos with the original passport request? In that case, yes, I would just send them. Lots of people get that request when they get PPR (despite the fact that we send photos with the original package). In the end, the worst that could happen is that you send them photos and they don't use them. Better to have that situation than to have them waiting for something you never sent.

Exactly they asked me to send photos with the original passport request.
