Queries regarding the citizenship application

[agarwal.lalit91]

Regarding providing the passport photocopy:
1) Do I need to provide the copies of the stamps as well or do I only need to provide the copy of the biographical pages (first and last page) of the passport?
2) Do I need to provide a copy of the blank pages of the passport too?

Regarding the 2 pieces of identification:
3) If I want to use passport as one of the pieces of identification, should I provide another copy of the biographical pages of the passport? So in total 2 copies of the biographical passport since one would be used for the above purpose?
4) Can I use my PR card as a second piece of ID?
5) If not, should I use my Canadian Driving License instead? My license expired in June, 2020 but it is still valid because the validity was increased because of the pandemic. Will that be fine? Should I explain this situation in the letter of explanation?

1. If you are applying online then biographical pages are only required.
For paper applications complete coloured copies of all passport pages(including blanks) are required
3. Yes that’s fine
4. PR cards can be used only for adult applications. For minor’s application you should not use PR card copy
5. I provided passport(bio pages) and drivers license as 2 x identification proofs. So you can do the same. If you are applying with expired license which has been extended please attach any note which confirms this validity
