I don't see any explicit mention of color photocopies in the instruction guide but I would still recommend color copies.

2. Signature on physical presence calculator is required now?

The new physical presence form does NOT require signature or date. Here's the word straight from the horse's mouth.

Thanks

I sent my application last Wednesday.

1.Some passport stamps are not clearly visible on the Grayscale. For that stamps, I took in the color printout.
2. I saw this IRCC tweet. The confusion happened again in Checklist, CIT 0007 (06-2019). It is asking for signature and Date on the PPC (Physical Presence Calculator).
For the safe side, I signed and dated on PPC.

Thanks a lot for clarifying my doubts

Hello @avm I am in the process of submitting the application. Can you please share if it is fine to print all documents in greyscale except the passport pages which are recommended to be color printed? Thanks in advance!

Its mentioned on doc checklist as well that ONLY PASSPORT PAGES should be color copies. All other documents can be in greyscale.
Signatures on physical presence are not required any more. The only signatures required are on APPLICATION FORM and the signing date should be same as per calculator.
