PASSPORT DOCUMENTATION

[satya10]

Dear All,

One question related to submission of the travel documents i.e, Passport, do we need to scan and upload all the pages of the passport, even the blank pages after ITA is received, there was a discussion on this forum sometime back.
Please confirm on this.

Thanks
Sathya

Just the bio and stamps pages are sufficient.

Actually just the bio page(s).

IRCC explicitly mentions Copy of the biographical data page of a passport or travel document on the document checklist - can't be clearer than that.

Thanks Asivad and Doda, agree it makes no sense to scan all the blank pages, however there was a discussion under the topic 'Reasons for rejection' I want to be double sure that everything is alright..

I don't know who posted it as a reason for rejection, and what was the date of that application. But I am pretty sure the wording of that requirement changed at some point last year.

When I first got ITA, it said very clearly to scan the bio page AND any stamped pages. I ended up having to decline that invite to make some changes in my profile, and the second time I got ITA it asked for the bio page only.

I triple checked that because I already had a document with all the pages scanned (from the first set of instructions) so I noticed right away that the wording had changed.

One more question, do we need to scan the expired passport as well? I think its not required, please comment.

You don't need to upload the expired passport, only the current one required.

I submitted all the pages of my passport. Will that effect in any way?

No it won't. Don't worry.

My passport has expired and was renewed by hand on the following page (my country has this facility). Would this be a problem for me as they say only bio page? I applied for my ielts with this one though with no issues.

In your case you have to scan your Bio page and amendment page. Also, to be on the safe side, attach a letter explaining that you passports has been renewed on page X.

All the pages of passport are actually required for OINP, not for ITA.
