So I have been collecting all the documents that are required to be uploaded at a later stage. However, I came across a couple of posts that mention that CIC allows us to upload only one document per field.
I have 2 passports, expired one and a renewed one. So while uploading the scanned passport copies, do these two sets have to be collated in a single PDF??
Similar query for my education related documents. All of my Diploma, Bachelors Marksheets and Degrees have to be combined in one single PDF?
How are you guys scanning the documents? I do not have a scanner, so I am using CamScanner on my phone to scan the documents. While the image quality is fine with CamScanner, folds and bends make it apparent that the document has been scanned using a phone. Is it okay??

Hello,
All passports for one applicant should be in one single file. Same with other documents one single PDF for one single type of documents for every applicant. Experience letters are each employment period.
Not sure about CamScanner. As long as they are easy to read and file size remains below 4 MB should be OK.
Have you consider buying a simple scanner just to make it easier to scan and merge your documents?

There is a size limit of 4 MB per pdf... Keeping this limit in mind
-- You will have to collate/merge pdfs.
-- Current and valid passport scans required only
-- all education docs to be merged.

Cam scanner is OK, but I would not risk this. I will go to bookshops/computer shops/formatting/binding shops/ etc to get my educational docs scanned or get it from a friend or even from friend of a friend :) I will rather scan them in a scanner.
