about passport page in citizenship application

[bottomline123]

Hello, on the CIC website https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/application-forms-guides/guide-0002-application-canadian-citizenship-under-subsection-5-1-adults-18-years-older.html, it doesn't specify which pages of the passport should be included. So which one of the following should be sent?

(1) Bio page
(2) All pages with stamps
(3) All pages

Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks

This is what the checklist "cit0007e-2" mentions:

"Photocopies of biographical pages of passports and/or travel documents covering the five (5) years immediately before the date of your
application. If these documents are not in your possession, provide an explanation in question #14 on the application form and see Step 4.14
Complete the application form of the instruction guide.
Note: if your passport validity was extended, include a photocopy of the page(s) containing the extension stamp(s)."

I’d suggest you send them a copy of all pages of your passport like I did.
This way, they will see everything regarding your entries and exits.
Send them a copy of all pages.

Hi,
send bio data page of your passport only.

Bad suggestion. You don't want to overwhelm them by sending all pages, something they don't ask for. Verification of entries and exits is done at the interview or when an RQ is sent. At this point, they only want the bio page of a passport for identity verification.

They only need the first page (biographical page), the document checklist mentioned that.
I did not send them any pages with entry/exit stamps.

Not sure how this can be a bad suggestion. This option is the safest.
I was trying to help out based on my personal experience.

Provide photocopies of the biographical pages of your current passport and/or travel document.
No need to send all pages of your passport.
No officer is going to sit and tally with the entry /exit of your passport.
They have CBSA reports and other resources for cross verification.
For PR renewal when I did in 2016 all pages of passport had to be send and it was clearly mentioned on checklist.

Just follow the requirement on the checklist, as simple as that. Good luck!

I asked this to my friend before filling my application, he applied through immigration lawyers as per him

Yes its about biographical pages only on the application
Officer, after your test will again check them , yes even empty pages of your passport

If him/her sees more or less than what you submit he will ask you about your stamps (btw officer can ask whatever ).

In the end it doesn't matter if you send all they will just discard what they don't need no fuss about it .

That’s why I said it’s safe to send copy of all pages.
