Hi All; wondering if someone can please help me. I applied online and submitted my application on Saturday 09 October.

A mistake I think I made;

1) I submitted my Ontario Drivers License and my PR Card. It was only after I submitted I realized that my PR Card (may not be accepted). Am I correct in this thinking? I also submitted bio pages for my 2 (non Canadian) passports.

Should I contact IRCC and try to submit a scanned copy of my Ontario Health Card?

Since you submitted photocopy of your passports, you should be fine. Your PR photocopy is extra in this case.

photocopies of two (2) pieces of personal identification.

Examples of identification you can use include:

  • a copy of the biographical page of your passport/travel document (as requested above and also can be one (1) of your pieces of personal identification)
  • permanent resident card (PR card)
    • A PR card may only be used as personal identification if your second piece of personal identification was issued by the Canadian government.
  • driver’s licence
  • health insurance card
  • senior citizen identification card
  • age of majority card
  • foreign identity documents, such as a passport or government issued identification documents

both is better I guess? Better to be safe than sorry.
I might have to apply on paper because the online application isn’t open yet for families. Will scan front and back side of my PR card and print it on the same sheet of paper.
