Wondering if the officer asked to send copies of only the pages that have stamps/visas on them, or the entire passport booklet including blank pages ? Question may sound silly, but is relevant if the officer wants to make sure we're not hiding any stamps from them for whatever reason.

Much appreciated. Thanks

Hi Razer. I would suggest you send along the entire passport pages incl blank pages if any and also its good if its a color copy print as stamps are much visible to officer.
I had renewed my PR card more than a year back and the requirement was all pages of passport. I send color copies and no questions asked and got Pr card till 2021.

Thank you! @oasdu confimed that they want a copy of the entire passport including blank pages, which makes sense to me.

I have a pertinent question , people who have been requested to send documents at time of test , where do they send them ? To Sydney or Local Office ,

My other question is that , does it delay processing ?

Regards

Not a significant delay, although it's difficult to quantify it because it depends on case to case. Example: if the requested documents are as simple as a copy of all pages in the passport, then it can take 1-2 weeks to get DM after the test. Could take longer depending on the nature of the request.

This is assuming background (security and criminalty) checks have completed successfully. These can run even after the test, and also depend on case to case.

I was asked to send the color copies of Arabic stamp PP pages along with translation to local visa office. VO gave me letter at time of interview and he put local office address stamp.

My cousin was asked to translate his stamps and send a colored copy of his entire passport. He sent the translation but forgot to send the colored copy which caused him a major delay and a stern language from IRCC. They send him a letter a month and a half later with the title “Final Notice” asking him to provide a colored copy of the entire passport
