Passport copies and applying for a PR card
Sorry if this is just me being thick or overthinking things but I'm trying to get the documents together to apply for my first PR card after soft landing 2 years ago.
On the application requirements list, it includes the following:
I changed passports about 5 months after landing and my I- stamp is in the old and now invalidated one. Am I incorrect in thinking that all I need to provide is a photocopy of the photo page from my current passport? Or do I need to include copies of every page from it like I did for my old passport when I applied through Express Entry?
When I applied for a PRTD earlier this year, the VAC just took a copy of the photo page from my current one plus a copy of the photo page from the old one and a copy of the page with the I- stamp on it but I think that's just because I went in there prepared and I had them on me at the time.
The rest of the application guidelines look pretty much straightforward so far as I can tell. That's the only part I'm unclear on so far.

a clear copy of:
- your valid passport or travel document, or
- the passport or travel document you held at the time you became a permanent resident
