I initially thought that I need to send in all pages of my passport when I submit my application. However, I have been clarified by other members in this forum that I need to send only the bio-graphical pages of the passport. Now, I have an old / expired passport and a new one. I had many entry/exit stamps in the previous passport.

Question is: Even if I send in just the bio-graphical pages of the old and new passports, do I need to also include the pages containing exit/entry stamps from the old passport with my application package or I just wait for them to ask for them?

you're asking a question to which you're giving an answer "I have been clarified by other members in this forum that I need to send only the bio-graphical pages of the passport."

I have many travels in my early years after immigrating to Canada. I landed 7 years ago, but I just fulfilled the 1095 days requirement of physical presence in the last 4 years. So, I would like to send in all pages including certified translation pages of non-English exit/entry stamps.

I understand that the instruction guide asks only for biographical pages BUT when someone doesn't have any travel that should be fine. For someone like me, is it better to send in all the pages with the initial application?

For now. I would send ONLY what they asked for i.e. Biographical pages.

Also, if you ONLY had air travel in/out of Canada and CBSA has all the records of you, and IMPORTANTLY your printout of residency calculator matches dates they have...you should be fine. Then detailed copies is for later anyway. Why complicate now ? just my 2 cents
