for passport i scanned 2 pages in one.

600 DPI will increase the file size.

200 DPI worked for me; its nice & clear.

Remember that all pages have to be combined in 1 PDF document for each doucment placeholder. The size of each doucment cannot be more than 4MB.

K what about passport,only the page where i have my pic is 600 times 600 or all passport pages?
No I meant the passport photo.

My scan of my passport bio page and stamps was about 200dpi. Just make sure all your documents are legible and are under 4mb.

You mean the jpeg photo file right but everything else including the passport is fine at 200 or less

Dont think thats an issue. CIC did not ask specifically for uploading IELTS score sheet with your studies document. Nor is it stated that it should be in colour.

They didnt ask but some applicants get rejections for not uploading their ielts so better to upload them
