Thanks Mitali, Saki and Chinay for your replies. Here's an explanation for what I did.
It says in the letter from CIO:
Submitting your Complete Application
Go to http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/skilled.asp to download the Federal Skilled Worker guide and application forms.
Your complete application must consist of the following:
A copy of this letter with the reference number above
Application for Permanent Residence in Canada [IMM 0008]
Schedule 1: Background/Declaration [IMM 0008 SCHEDULE 1]
Additional Family Information [IMM 5406]
Use of a Representative [IMM 5476] (if applicable)
Schedule 3: Economic Classes [IMM 0008 SCHEDULE 3]
You must submit all documents required by the visa office.
Visa office-specific forms and a list of all supporting documents required by the visa office are available at: www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/skilled-mission.asp
Their letter was dated June 8, 2010 and the changes occurred in June 2010. I compared the new requirements with the old ones I have in my files.
In addition to this, when I checked the
new VISA Office Specific Instructions, it says in the second paragraph and I quote:
"If there is a conflict between this guide and any other versions or publications, this document and its
instructions take precedence and are to be followed."
The above specific statement made me decide to follow the new instructions. However, I believe that points will not be taken from me if I will include as well some documents specifically required from the old instructions but are no longer required in this new one, such as:
1. Certificates of no previous marriage for you and all your family members (included for the reason that I already have them before the instructions changed and our birth certificates are not very legible so I believe that this will confirm clearly of our identities and civil status)
2. Original TOR in university sealed envelopes. (I already have them so I just attached them to the certified copies)
I hope I was able to explain fully the reasons for my actions. What do you think, guys? Did I miss something? Thanks for the guidance and support. Good luck to all of us.
