Do they need School certificates? please experts advise!

[Staroffuture]

Through the Visa Office Specific Instructions they mentioned that they need School certificates for the principal applicant, spouse or common-law partner and all dependent children 22 years of age and over.

As the prinicipal applicant who has a university degree, should I provide all my school certificates from the elementary schools till high school??
I think that's too much. isn't it? and why they need my elementary school certificates for example? How can I bring like these certificates after all this time? actually I don't have them. Is these certificates mandatory?

Is the high school certificate (which I have it) will be sufficent along the university certificate?
Please advise!

they generally ask for post-secondary education docs only...

well i have also submitted my school certificates alongwith full docs. my advise to u is to do the same if possible. prevention is better than cure. as per my understanding they might cut ur points based on the education for not providing enough supporting documents.

Nowhere that I know of. Only POST SECONDARY, unless, maybe they doubt your diploma or degree?
