passport and blank pages

[hossamo33]

But isn't that just the main page and possibly relationship page at the end? That's only 2 pages of the passport (and I assume a permit to live outside country of citizenship may be required?) so max 3 pages? I have seen so many people saying that all stamps and visas were sent..... so am a bit confused.

I'm not sure what everyone is on about, or if the requirements are different for each applicant. For me, it says I should upload the biodata page, which shows my country of birth, year of birth and country of origin. They dont ask for blank pages nor for visa stamps. I'm only uploading my biodata page i.e. uploading only what they ask for!

You have a choice - listen to all contradcitory opinions on an online forum and get confused OR do exactly what CIC says in your personalized checklist.

The issue is that I haven't received the personalized checklist as yet... am arranging all my documents now and was trying to get all the documents translated and sent back to me from Canada asap, because I need to get the return courier back by 1st week of September...will not be able to receive the mail after that for a long time due to some address challenges...so will be unable to translate after that.... I was planning to send the marriage certificate a couple of days ago for translation and wanted to get the stamps and visas done at the same time, if required... but don't want to end up wasting an extra $30- $40 if it will be a waste.

You don't need to translate visa stamps/markings. Translations are necessary for documents such as education credentials, work reference letter, marriage/divorce certificates, legal name change documents, bank statements etc.

You might also not need to submit any visa stamps/markings at all.

What were you expected to upload other than bio page(s) of your valid passport?

You've to do nothing at all. You've already provided what's required.

Thank you for your quick reply.... many thanks....

so why people are saying that I should provide blank pages or those pages that have visa issued or entry or exit stamps in those countries that dont need visa....

so are u sure?" just first pages are enough?!!

People don't decide what is required - IRCC does. And this is what they want, relevant portion quoted below.

Purpose

To confirm the applicant's identity

Anyone? should I get all old stamps and visas translated? I have a couple of UAE stamps just 3 months after turning 18 that are in arabic (with english dates though).. the rest all have english.. and an old cancelled visa, but that was from when I was 17 to 20 or so...SO I assume I will need to translate that as well?

Hi, so did you get your arabic stamps and visa translated? and was you application successful?
