Both of you test and interview after the test sometime separately and some time
together depend on the officer how he look your application. As long you are confident
and assure that you stay the number of days required than no issue relax and enjoy
and prepare for test.

Have you done it before applying and attached to initial application? Or you have it prepared for interview?

I don't think this is a requirement to bring photocopies. Just bring the actual passports (actual and expired, if applicable)

Mine is a RQ case, so probably they want the photocopy of biographic pages

You're right; the test invitation letter says to bring the originals and photocopies - has nothing to do with RQ or not.
Dont look what other people say, it may be their own comprehension (not necessary the correct one); follow the instructions! No bargain on this.
As for color or B/W; its your choice - the requirement is to be a legible copy.

However read this thread and be ready to go through the RQ you sent:

Good luck!

In Vancouver, one of the other form member: yyzhuang and myself received 2 pages of test invite and one pink letter and the pink letter stated about more details about what to bring.

I am just writing a part from that page which states about the passport information:

"For every passport or travel document you MUST also bring a photocopy of the page bearing your picture and biographic information (name, date of birth etc)"

Yeah, same here in Ontario; on the other hand, they never asked for or retained the copies (in my case).

Yes, same with me. They never asked for the photocopies of the passports. The officer just checked the 2 original pieces of IDs, passports, pr card etc.

No wonder we need forums like this one if they ask different things from different people for the same event: everybody gets confused!

I was really assuming the test invite would be standard for everyone :-(

I am gonna re-read my invitation some more, just to be 1000% sure...
