Do you mean a copy of the passport? Typically you don't include original passports with the application.

Do not worry. As you won't have a file number or any other reference from CIC as of now, you cannot send a cover letter and the certified document again as you wouldn't know where it will land up. So just wait. When they need it, they will ask you for it.

dear friend dont worry and itslaeq is correct. if you know where is the file still, i mean if you apply recently from canada, it may still in Mississauga and then you can send it there. but you cant exactly guess that and if you know it has gone to the applicants country you can send it there. but its better you wait till you get AOR and get a client ID number. and also they will ask you and you dont need till they ask. once you get your client id number, you send it there
good luck

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you need to send a certified true copy of the passport. According to CIC "documents which are not in English or French must be accompanied by an English of French translation and must be certified as true copies".

As you didn't translate your passport, I don't think you need to send a certified copy of it. Just a regular copy is enough.


"Translation of documents

Any document that is not in English or French must be accompanied by:

the English or French translation; and
an affidavit from the person who completed the translation; and
a certified copy of the original document."

dear friend the cic have mentioned in the guide that you need to certify all the copies of any original copy. copies of maybe translations, originals what ever the copies.

You are correct. If the passport copy is in English or French then no certification is required. It's all covered in the guide (as you have quoted above):

Hi all,
Thank you for your replies....
I think the only thing I can do now is ... wait ...

Do you think they will reject my entire application just because of ONE uncertified document?

cheers,

If the passport already has english fields in it so does not need translation, then it does NOT need to be certified. Just a regular photocopy is fine. Nowhere in the guide does it say all copies need certifying.

If the passport is not in english or french, then it requires copy, certification the copy is true, and official translation.
