Dear All,

At the time of submission of all documents to CIC, do we need to submit our old passports copy (all pages or 1st and last page) also or only latest passport is sufficient ??

Only latest required but feel free to upload stamps from your old passport if you think it backs up your travel history.

If you're resident in a country other than that of your nationality and the visa and entry stamp that demonstrates your legal residence over there, is in an older passport, you would need to show this.

If you have changed personal details such as name you may want to consider showing an older passport to back up your legal name change documents.

Other than this, I don't believe that it's required to show old passports upfront. Indeed it's not even possible to enter an expired passport in the application form- it gives an error saying that the expiry date needs to be in the future (i.e. current passport).
