Question 14A of CIT0002E

[keesio]

Hello folks,
I have a question regarding question 14A of CIT0002E. It asks for her travel documents. For the expiry date, is it the date in the biographical page of the passport that lists the expiry date? Or is it the date the passport no longer became valid.

Example:
My wife's old passport had an expiry date of 2018-02-07. But she got a new passport issued on 2013-05-15 (due to name change). So technically that old passport expired when she got her new one.

which date does IRCC want? The expiry date on the old passport or the actual date when the passport was no longer valid?

Thanks!

I would say enter the dates as it is in the Passport. Actual date of issue and expiry date. In a letter of explanation, you can mention that she applied for a new passport after she got married to you.
