I am applying for my citizenship and am unable to decide if PRTD is a travel document that needs to be attached in addition to my passport bio pages in my citizenship application. PRTD was issued over email to me during covid for travelling to Canada as I did not have my PR card with me.
Also are we required to submit our visa pages/stamps as travel documents in the application?

Since you have a history of travel during your eligibility period, chances are high you will be asked for a copy of all pages of all passports valid during EP, with translations if there is non-Eng/Fr stamps /info on them. A PRTD is not a travel document - it is the equivalent of a visa / residence permit. You will always need a passport to travel to Canada, even though you may have a PRTD (which is verified by airline & immigration to determine whether you are permitted to enter Canada or not.)

Thank you for confirming that. I did submit my application with just BIO pages of my passports, should I try and pro-actively submit all my passport pages( is there a way to do this?) ? My application is online and it never asked me to submit all the passport pages :(

Only the bio pages are required for online applications. Full passports copies for paper ones.
