I have been going through the forums since I am an applicant myself. One thing I have noticed is that there is no general guideline discussed in these forums as to what documents to attach with your application in general. Most people are usually concerned about the timelines. A lot of people here get approval but they never share, or I haven't seen so far, as to what made their application successful. Most of the focus is on SOP, but I think that's just one of the many documents we submit. A few of the observations I have, going through documents is below and everyone is most welcome to express their opinions on them since I and everyone want to understand how the application can be made successful.
1. Some people add property documents, income tax returns, payslips. I feel this is excessive and shows desperation. Submit what is asked for, don't overdue.
2. Applying for SDS when there is plenty of time to apply under non-SDS, shows desperation again.
3. Language test results under non-SDS.
4. Not attaching police clearance certificate under non-SDS, while not being asked but it could help.
There could be more points but these are what I have in my mind at the moment. I would request experts, senior members to express their opinions and guide people. Especially successful candidates, please share what you think made your application a success.
