Passport copies (Multiple) upload?

[CANPR12]

Hi Folks,

I have received my ITA and i am in the process of uploading the necessary documents. I have a question which I hope veterans and fellow applicants would be able to answer.

The passport copies upload section has (multiple) copies explicitly stated. But there seems to be ability to only upload 1 single pdf file. I have an expired passport and a new one with visa stamps etc.

How have people with 2 or more passports uploaded your passport copies? Did you upload the old passport copies followed by current one within the same file or is just uploading the new passport copy is enough?

Please advise.
Thanks

Merge the passports into one file. The new one followed by the old one. Use this site to merge - http://www.ilovepdf.com/merge_pdf

i thought we only need to upload our valid passport?

1. I would not suggest to use online tools to merge as these are sensitive documents. Use adobe pro.
2. In your old passport if there are visas or entry or exit stamp then you need to upload them. Nevertheless if there are no stamps or any marking it would still be advisable to upload the page where they have mentioned passport cancelled.

Merge everything in one file max size 4mb.

Mention in the LOE that all your travel histroy from X - 2007 was in your old passport (if possible provide the no.) and its now lost/stolen/non-machine readable etc etc. but try to check your old emails or your travel agent with whom you usually book your tickets from. just try to provide the copy. Anyhow they would be stamping your visa on your new passport. But providing all the vital information as much as possible at times might shorten your processing time. If the officer might have concern about those travels rather then he/she approaching you and back and forth you loose time.Better to provide upfront.
Thats my thought...
