Supporting Document for PA - proof of status question

[Grlv0013]

Hello everybody!

On the checklist, it says to provide the proof of status (visa/permits/etc.), including out of status documentation. Question: do they mean that I should provide the most recent visa/permit EVEN if it expired, OR do they mean to provide all permits/visas including current AND out-dated?

I have been in Canada since 2013 and I have 2 study permits that have expired already and my current PGWP. So I am not so sure if I need to provide everything or just PGWP.

Thank you!!!

Just proof of CURRENT status is needed.

Just proof of CURRENT status is needed.

Thank you, I really appreciate your help!!!

Can I ask you one more thing?

It's about bills showing the same address. I have a lot of those, but I was thinking- does it matter for which dates they are? I mean, should only recent be provided, or a combination of older and recent ones?

Also, some bills have many pages, like for ex. phone bill has 9 describing all the kind of usage stuff which cic probably doesn't need...should I attach only first page of every bill showing name and address?

Thanks again!

What i did was include a bill from every 3/4 months. So a Jan one, April one, August one and then Dec one. Do that for as much time as possible. Ours spanned a good few years but just showing from every 3/4 months.

I didnt include the full bills for cellphone. Just printed the first page that worked as a kind of summary showing name, address etc. Highlighted the name and address.
