yes...copy of passport doesn't' hurt to send.....pplupo said:My wife is Brazilian and Portuguese. She has 2 passports. We traveled once to the USA and she used her portuguese passport. Should I submit both her passports on the application?
She will only need PCC from place, where she has stayed more than 6 months....pplupo said:Will she need a PCC from Portugal even though she has never been there?
Technically no, but she should upload a brief letter of explanation (that she has never been there), because IRCC will likely assume (given her passport) that she could have lived there...pplupo said:Will she need a PCC from Portugal even though she has never been there?
Since Portugal is visa-exempt in Canada and Brazil is not, she should use the Portugal one primarily if you choose to upload both passports. CIC would figure this out on their own, but it won't hurt to also mention this in the letter of explanation.pplupo said:My wife is Brazilian and Portuguese. She has 2 passports.

Yeah, but this will all be explained in her personal and address history, which is required to fill out.pplupo said:Thank you for the advice! I'm afraid it may create some confusion since all her degrees are Brazilians, bank account and everything else. She has never been there, she acquired it because her dad is Portuguese.
Hello @pplupo , finally you got the PCC from Portugal? My wife needs it, and we first applied to get it by mail. They sent it to her but with no stamp or signature, only with a code that can be introduced to a website to verify the certificate. Later we asked about it and they said if is sent by post (to a Portuguese address) it comes with a stamp. We order it again and sent it to a friend of hers in Portugal, but she received exactly the same certificate...Brazilian is too easy, it can be taken from the government website.
It seems Portugal has launched a similar initiative but the website has been down the whole day. Since I only found out about it today, I wonder if it was taken off or if it's just temporary. :-( In the worst case scenario she will have to go to the consulate to get one. It's in a nearby neighborhood, so it won't hurt to drop by. ;-)
