Hi Experts,

I'm applying for Visitor Visa. Under the mandatory documents to upload, it asks for copy of passport. I have travelled to other countries before. so my question is should I add the Visa stamps along with the first and last page of my passport or simply upload the first and last page of my passport??

thanks in advance

Simply upload the first & last page of your passport in passport section.
For your Travel history, Upload your visa stamps in a combined pdf along with your cover letter & any additional document which you wish to provide in the Client Information section.

Yes, you should add. In fact, you can scan all the passports (current & previous) and it will prove your previous travel history as well as any refusal stamps, if any

I would scan and upload all pages of the passport if you have visas or entry/exit stamps in it. This will help build your case and can provide some level of assurance to the VO that you will not overstay in Canada.

Sorry, I disagree. Back when I got PR for my wife, I sent IRCC copies of our passport pages to prove our travel together. IRCC did not accept this as proof, and why should they (there is no way to prove whose passport the visa stamped pages really belong to)?

instead, IRCC asked us to go to the local immigration authorities in her home country and get a copy of ALL our exits and entrances into the country, to show that we traveled together. Once we did so PR was rapidly approved.

A file of pages with stamps in them does not show to whom the passport belongs. Too many scammers out there for IRCC to fall for that trick.
