Hello friends,
A bit confusion regarding on which pages to be scanned in passport?
Some say that ALL the pages of passport are to be scanned and submitted, whether they are blank or have any print on them.
On the contrary, it clearly says on CIC website that ONLY bio-data pages and the pages with any print on them (such as stamps, etc) are to be scanned and submitted.. :
I have received my ITA and going to submit my PR file within a few days.
Only the pages that have stamps and visas. I thought of scanning the whole passport so that CIC will know for sure that there are no hidden stamps or visas. I ultimately have scanned only the pages with visas and scans as it would be impossible to have so many pages under 4MB with clear scans
You have to upload your current passport pages that have visa and stamps and any other visas that are STILL valid even though the passport may have expired

Thanks.. +1 for you.. but what about Passport C in my situation..
U mean to say I should not upload that as it has expired visa and expired passport.. but was just concerned as it has stamps within last 10 yrs of my travel.

My advice is if you own a scanner (i.e. you ont have to pay a lot of money in a shop) then scan the whole passport. Like xpressentry said it will be large in size but I compressed the PDF file and there doesn't seem to be any problems in my GCMS notes (AOR 17th Nov 2016).

Ok this is important, so what I understand is if my 10 year Valid Amerikan visa is in an expired passport I should upload that as well? I thought they were talking about the valid passports, I have 6 passports for gods sake

They only want your valid passport with the stamps in that. That's it. The whole point of the passport upload is for ID purposes. Do not upload old passports.

A clear and legible copy of the biographical data page of a passport or travel document must be provided."

Nowadays, important databases covering passports and travel history are effectively linked. So all your travel history along with valid/expired visas and their respective numbers will eventually be seen by them anyways, even if you didn't upload expired passports/expired visas etc etc
