Passport copy for PR Card Renewal

[Jerry1410]

Hi

One of the documents we have to provide for PR Card renewal is a copy of the Passport.
Do we have to provide copies of all the pages of the Passport, including blank ones or just the pages on which entry/exit stamps are put.

There is confusing information on this. Some say that only the pages on which the identity details are given are required and others say that all the pages, including blank ones are required.

Any expert opinion on this.

So, the requirement is to provide only the first and last page of the passport (identity information pages). There is no requirement to provide entry/exit stamp pages or any other pages.

Some provide all pages of the passport to be on the cautious side. I sent my renewal application with only first and last page and it was approved.

Thanks for your reply. Is this explained anywhere in the Instruction Guide. I checked. I could not find.
Last time I had renewed my PR Card through a Consultant and they had asked me to provide all the pages, including blank ones.

Also, is it adviseable to send copies of Income Tax NOA. I have read on this form that it is better to send at least 2 NOAs which makes it easy for the Officer to review the application. What do you say.

If you have a lot of travel, it might be advisable to send copy of all pages of the passport.

Regarding NOAs, my personal opinion is that there is no need to send them since you can always check the box allowing them to collect from the CRA. It is also not a requirement in the application checklist. However, if it will make you be less concerned about the application, send them. More documentation usually never hurts.
