About travel documents and renewal pages

[__jack_br__]

1) Should I provide copy of pages in passport that have VISA and stamps? Are these "travel documents"?
2) There is a page in my passport stating that this passport is a replacement of an expired passport, should I provide copy of this page? Is it the "renewal pages"?

"""
The biographical page means the page that has your name, photo, passport/travel document number, issue date and expiration date.

Provide photocopies of the biographical pages of all passports and/or travel documents (valid and cancelled) for the six (6) year period immediately before the date of your application, or since you became a permanent resident, whichever is more recent.

Also, provide photocopies of any renewal pages of the passport(s)/travel document(s).

1. VISAs and stamps are not travel documents. You do not have to provide them.
2. You do not need to provide the page that states your passport is a replacement of an expired passport, unless that is on one of the biographical pages.

Some travel documents (e.g., passports) are renewed without replacing the travel document with a new one. In such cases, a "renewal page" is created in the passport stating that the validity of the travel document has been extended to a specific date (which one should copy and provide). This is different from a statement that this passport is replacing a previous passport (which one does not have to provide).

I have a PR card for another country (not Canada). Is that a "travel document"?

A copy of a PR card that can be used, by itself, to travel to/from Canada should be submitted with your citizenship application. Thus a U.S. LPR (green) card should be submitted, because you can travel between Canada and the USA with just the green card. But a Chinese one, for instance, need not be submitted, because you can't travel between China and Canada using just the Chinese PR card (you also need a passport).

The U.S. green card is a travel document. The Canadian PR card is not. I can't speak to other countries' PR cards.

Dear Immigration members,

I have the following inquiry, I am PR holder which is valid until 2021 but my Canadian travel (CT)expired on July 5, 2018 and I want to travel to UK to attend a residency program organized by the online U o Liverpool, UK in coming Oct. 2018. In order to get an invitation letter from UoL admin section I need to have a valid CT. I couldn't find a CT renewal specific format in the site ( where to find it) rather there was a general CT format and it doesn't mention "renewal tick post" in any part of it.
Second question, I was wondering since my expired CT has many blank pages would it possible to put a renewal stamp ( as it is cost effective and environmentally friendly) rather getting a new one with more expenses?
Thank you and I will expecting you kind and earlier feedback.
Cheers!
