Hi forum, my wife will arrive for first time to Canada as permanent resident and I know she has to apply for the SIN Card as first step. She will present her Passport as one of the documents requirement, does she needs to present only the first page of her Passport (where it is shown her name and country) or all the pages? her passport is in English and Spanish in her first page, does she needs to get a translation? Thanks for your advice.

Main thi8ng is she will need the COPR (signed by cbsa officer at airport, etc) and some other id. I don't know of any reason why they'd require translation of other parts of her passport, should only need the tombstone page.
