Everyone unsure about what to send after they received the docs update mail
=============
Everyone received Docs Update letter refer to this post by Qorax
============
1. With this letter your file has come out of the queue & is now ready for further processing.
2. They haven't asked u to send all the docs again... just one [new] IMM0008* & rest "updated" ones, if any.
Meaning:
If there's any changes in your exp, edn, POF, family composition, IELTS retake, travel history etc. u r then required to submit the latest now... else, u don't submit anything except the fresh IMM0008.
Good luck !

*Original Generic Application Form for Canada (IMM0008) form: This is a std practice... lately everyone has to file it again.

My personal view is if there is nothing to update, dont send anything except that IMM0008 form with a cover letter saying "No update at this time".
once you send a valid IELTS score to youtr VO, its valid for eternity to CIC. dont mix things up. IELTS result is valid for 2 years. it means IELTS authority keeps your test results and records for 2 years inside their system after which they erase all the records. Now, Once you submit the result to your CIO/VO, say 1 day before that 2 year's deadline, CIO/VO will first check your score with the IELTS authority and they move into something else with your files.
Many people are stalled since 2004 even, they have not been told to resend a fresh score.
Confusions should be cleared by now.
