Hi, for citizenship application, do I need to photocopy all pages of my passport or just the photo page?

Why dont you just follow the instructions rather than asking on it since the instructions vary from time to time hence the guys already applied cant even answer. Earlier it was not mandatory. Now they made is mandatory because officers start asking for all pages later. To avoid wasting time at later stage, they started asking for it with the application itself.

The online application only asks for bio page scan (please correct me if I am wrong, as I am yet to submit my online application), so I have uploaded only bio page there. But now I think I will upload all my pages in the" additional documents" section, just to be on a safer side.

For paper based application, this previous post is very helpful.

No need for that shitty response, it wasn't clear in the instruction guide if you need to copy all stamped pages or not, that's why I asked.

I'm sorry but the instruction guide can't be any clearer than this. Not sure what "wasn't clear" for you. "All pages" = All pages (including blank pages + pages with stamp + bio pages, basically the ENTIRE PASSPORT).


Step 3 – Gather your documents


Submit the following documents with your application:
  • colour photocopy of all pages (valid or expired) of your passport(s) or travel document(s) during your (5) year eligibility period, including the biographical page which includes: name, photo, date and place of birth, passport/travel document number, issue date and expiration date.
In your initial post, you did not mention if yours is an online application or a paper one. The instructions in the online application website are different (It currently asks only for the bio pages of the passport).

So, @harirajmohan 's response wasn't a shitty one. He was correct in responding that way he did because the requirements do keep changing. Before June 16th, the instruction guide only asked for the bio pages of the passport, now it says "all pages".

Next time around, try not to berate people that are trying to help you. Good luck.
 
I'm doing the paper based, the instruction guide I have is different to yours. It only mentions biographical page of passport, that's why I was confused and not sure if I should also include stamped pages. The instruction guide I looked at is the latest one on CIC website

Okay. You might be looking at the wrong instruction guide then.

The latest one was linked by @harirajmohan - Please use that as reference. That is the correct instruction guide for adult applicants.
