Hi All,
My question is very specific, but not short enough to cover in the thread title! Here goes:
1) I'm a Canadian citizen. My wife is Canadian PR. Her current card expires end of this year.
2) We've been living/working overseas for a number of years. However, since we have been living together, I think she still meets the residency obligation due to "accompanying Canadian citizen".
3) We will return to Canada in a month, and then proceed with renewing her PR.
4) Part of the requirements for supporting documents for residency obligations (found in Appendix A of the online PR guide) is as follows: "all passports or other travel documents that the person you are accompanying used in the five (5) years before the application"
My question: Do the passports mentioned in Item #4 above have to be originals or copies? I can't find any mention of this in the guide. Obviously I don't want to give up my passport for the duration of the renewal process in case I need to travel during that period (which is a real possibility for work).

for pr renewal . you just have to submit color copies of all pages of your passport . plus i would recommend to get entry exit record of every country you have travelled to and attach with your application .
Regarding entries/exits, it won't be possible. I travel all the time for business meetings and such to neighboring countries for 1-2 day periods at a time. There are literally hundreds of entries/exits to various countries over the past 5 years. I'm sure we'll have some explaining to do, but I'm not overly concerned, as our case is totally legit. All our rental contracts are in both our names, we have all employment records, we have a child together, etc.
