City: Scarborough
Application Sent: 11 Feb 2020
Application Received: 14 Feb 2020
AOR: Aug 17 2020
In Process : Nov 8 2020
BG check : Jan 26 2020
Test invite : 30 Apr 2020
Test given : 05 May 2020

The rest is in progress.

Today, I got an email to upload all pages of my travel document used in the last 5 years. The email has a word document and is from the official’s own CIC email address rather than the general no-reply.. email address. Is this legit?

My wife received the email also from an individual's official email address a couple of days back. same word document attachment. She scanned and sent it back to the same email address.

If the site which has been specified is official site then its legit.
Earlier they used to send it to office location but they might be changing it since some candidates email the office directly to know the application status.
May be they added uploading features. So slowly they are opening up more features online with more interaction with candidates directly with the site, rather than with the office.

Can we know the site name(just the main site, not the whole link)?

It is an email address not a site firstname.lastname@cic.gc.ca

This is a common request being sent right now and is likely legit. Requesting all pages of the passport is a routine request in lieu of an actual interview.

Yes, we have seen members note on the same. Officers email us to ask for documents.
You said uploading hence asked. Yes we have seen this kind before. Send the documents quickly.
