Are u including last visa or visas for whole period you live overseas(country of residence)?Like I am in Australia from 8 years so I have/had around 5 visas in 8 years. Should I get copies of all expired visas as well or just current one need to scan along with passport?
And has your new passport have any visa stamps too? Thank you

My new passport is brand new, has no stamps at all. I only included stamped pages of the previous passport (the very previous one that was renewed). I included a LOE that my passport is new and has no stamps, therefore I included the old one with stamps. If your passport isn't new, I think all stamped pages in your current passport is good, that's what the instruction says.

Yes, I know that. But our document checklist's requirement is saying something else.

Hi, so this what I eventually did. I submitted just the bio-data page of my valid passport and a LOE saying my passport is new and has no visas, markings or stamps; since that what the instruction said. There is really no point uploading my old passport, if they wanted a valid passport. For my spouse and son, I included all pages with stamps and visas. I really do think it is glitch, because we are not IEC, but I would advice do what you can defend (which is the instruction), it was still in there after I submitted.
Good luck!

Yes I confirmed with CIC via Twitter they say there is no change in documents, it seems error.

Hi everyone,

This is an old threat. I hope people are still checking this.

I submitted my passport with the bio information page and all visas and stamps. However, since I have two scans of passport, I accidentally uploaded the old one (missing the custom stamp of the country i am living in now - Australia). What should I do now? I check CIC website and it says only bio-data page is needed but in the checklist it does say all pages with stamps or marking.

I am at IP2 now and it would be very disastrous if my application is rejected because of a missing custom stamp....

My passport has endorsement seals for foreign currency (for a credit card). However, I did not upload those pages when submitting my eAPR. Will it be a problem? Should I upload the pages now by raising a CSE? I am still at NA2 stage in my application process.
