Hello guys, Im about to submit my online application.

I have 4 questions:

1- Do I have to scan all pages in my passport? it says only the "

The bio page(s) has your information (for example, name, photo, and date of birth).

If your document has more than 1 bio page, upload them all as 1 file.

"
So I assume it's only the bio page. am I right?

2- Regarding employment: I had worked as a DoorDash delivery while in school, but I did not make enough money to get the T4 and declare tax for it, so should I include in my application that I worked there as well?

3- I worked at a bank for 1 week too, and got paid for it, should I declare it as well?

4- Uploading picture, So, I go to a photographer, ask him to take pictures, and write his name on the back.
But when I upload I only upload the digital one right? or should I scan the physical for the front and back?

Hope to hear from you

I applied online so my answers are going to be about online citizenship application:
1. Only bio page has to be scanned and uploaded
2. Include every thing including doordash and bank whether you received T4 or not
3. For photo, the online application form will ask you the name of the photo studio/photographer, address, and date of photo; so no need to write anything on the back of the photo
 
hi all
How do you know if your background or language is passed or not? Will you receive an email or is there any way to see it online on the portal? Thanks

No email notification for these (ones you mentioned) status updates. But you would be able to see it on the online status tracker. Background completion is the first one to happen.

Hi

1. What would be your answer to the question# 10b?

it would be yes ..as i was more than 180 days in US

b) In the past four (4) years, were you in a country or territory other than Canada for 183 days or more in a row (since the age of 18)?

2. Is the following note applicable to you?

Note: If you were in your country or territory of origin immediately prior to becoming a permanent resident and landing in Canada and this time falls within
this four (4) year period, you are not required to provide a police certificate.

If your wife was on a OWP, then you cannot use visitor visa, you will have to select Temporary Worker in "type"
I played around with the tool with the dates you provided.. please see the below the screen shot..
I assumed that you would sign the application by 3rd Dec 2021 hence the 5 yr validity is upto 2nd Dec 2021

One last question, for photo IDs, she has a passport/PR as first piece of identification, second ID would be Health Card but Quebec RAMQ don't have photo on health cards. Will it be ok? or I can submit Passport, PR and health card as IDs but I am afraid second piece Id doesn't have photo on it. Worried about this.

Examples of identification you can use include:
  • a copy of the biographical page of your passport/travel document (as requested above and also can be one (1) of your pieces of personal identification)
  • permanent resident card (PR card)
    • A PR card may only be used as personal identification if your second piece of personal identification was issued by the Canadian government.
  • driver’s license
  • health insurance card
  • senior citizen identification card
  • age of majority card
  • foreign identity documents, such as a passport or government issued identification documents
Passport and Health Card should be ok, otherwise if she has a Driver's License that can also be used.

Yeah but for online application it strictly says they need photos on both IDs.
She doesn’t have DL.
