ALL PAGES OF ALL PASSPORTS that were valid in the past 5 years, not just the current passport. I think the instructions in the PDF file attached to the email is pretty clear.
Thanks Raj for your respond and help. My question is do I need to attach the new one which been issued after her 5 years period of citizenship or only the expired one which is cover the previous 5 years

In order for Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to continue the process of your citizenship application, scanned copies or photos of all passport(s) and travel document(s) pages held during your five (5) years eligibility period are required.

So the current active one is not required as it’s out of the 5 years period

or I should attach it any way

The wording goes like this :

In order for Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to continue the process of your
citizenship application, scanned copies or photos of all passport(s) and travel document(s) pages held
during your eligibility period
are required. If you do not have a travel document or passport, please
provide an explanation.
So based on this, it might be okay not to submit your current passport if it was issued AFTER the last day of your eligibility period.

You'd think completing the test in one of the languages would automatically trigger the 'Language' requirement, but I digress.

No trigger/reminder works for cic officer. The officer's mind is the only trigger which works based on mood.

His question is clear but the answer her is diplomatic. His question says the new passport issued in June after application which means is not required as it falls after the eligibility period.

Hi,

I have an update and a question:

The update is that the status of my: "Language skills", "physical presence" and "prohibitions" changed today from "in progress" to "completed"

The Question is: Does this mean I am now going directly to "The Oath/Citizenship Ceremony" step ? or could they require any other thing (like interview, F/P, passport copies) before the "Oath/Citizenship Ceremony"?

This is "Decision Made" and the next step is oath. It is very unlikely for you to get DM, FP or PP copies request after this.
