On my documents checklist it's asking me for my passport details page only. But on the forum I've seen people say we should scan all pages with visa stamps etc. as well. I know what CIC says is what matters but I still wanted to double check. Just trying to get everything right here. :)

When people applied to OINP, they were asked to scan even blank pages on the passport! That's where all these instructions got all muddled up. CIC asks only for bio data pages to be scanned - they don't even ask for stamps/markings leave aside blank pages or expired passports.

I did see that thread Banff2015 but was not satisfied with the answers. The final consensus on that thread seemed to be that we should upload visa pages along with old passports which is why I made a new thread for clarification which Asivad Anac kindly provided. Thank you!

True.:) sorry didn't meant to come across like a dickhead. So is your opinion now to upload all or not? Should be safer and upload all?

No worries. Yours was a reasonable, politely-worded comment. :) I think I will only upload my bio page as per CIC's instructions (and Asivad's suggestion) since I'm not applying for OINP. I have many additional documents as is, wouldn't wanna overcomplicate my application.
