[size=10pt]Hello Canada Visa Forum folks

I and every one
[/size]
Going through this hectic process should have the IDEAL set of documents handy with the application renewal
Can we reach a consensus here on the ideal documents set or CHECKLIST to be sent upon first renewal application to avoid any further clarifications from I.O by any means for instance if your bad luck sent your file in hands of a closed minded I.O. in order TO AVOID AS MUCH AS YOU CAN ANY CHANCE OF LENGTHY SECONDARY REVIEW.

I am currently having mixed feedback as my friend send them every single proof of his stay he joined professional development program he was working and he applied after completing 4 months extra on the 730 days and his pr was still valid DESPITE all that he got a secondary review :eek: when he seek advice some body told that he send toooo much proofs and that is triggering a redflag for them (he might be trying to cover something wrong or some sort of ITS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE)

I am really in need of right advise should i send them every single proof for instance doctors visits report, boarding passes, all bank and visa statements,rent receipts ETC (of course the I.O will be overwhelmed with the flie size) or keep it SHORT AND SPECIFIC and what are exact documents to represent this strategy.

Thank you ALL

In the legal field among experienced attorneys I have ever read about so far, the rule of thumb is: give them what they ask and nothing more.

Example: What is your name?
You answer: Pharmcawy

Do not answer:My name Pharmcawy, and when I was in Dehli I went to Rajshree high-school and enjoyed watching cricket games of Raj Shapur (you smiling, thinking Raj Shapur is a world star and asker will pat your back with pleasure).
Instead asker might go like: AhA! So, you watched games of Raj Shapur! Do you know who Raj Shapur is? Let me check out just who this Pharmcawy guy is...

Basically, this is the logic behind "Don't give more than asked" tactics.

However, don't give more than asked doesn't mean withhold or give less info than asked.

The main issue with sending too much proof seems to be the overloading of reviewing officer, who may just be lazy or having too many other cases to process. To lighten up his task, he might just get rid of your file, by sending to secondary.

But this is all mere speculations on my part. I don't work for CIC and have no idea how they process files.

In general, if you use a common sense you should be able to strike the balance (don't overdo or under-do it), and hope for the best.

Now, in case if there is a persistent and deliberate trend to send to secondary review just about anyone, no matter how poorly or well prepared their application was, then you might be dealing with bureaucratic abuse of power which can only be rectified by order of the court.
However latter is very difficult to prove in court (you have to document large number of cases where perfectly legitimate applicants were arbitrarily sent to secondary review, just to cause delay and frustration on their part, or due to incompetence of reviewing officers, and etc.).

So, your best bet is to follow the common sense route. Answer all questions. Cover all bases. But don't overload your application, especially with redundant and irrelevant stuff.

NOTE: THIS IS NOT A LEGAL ADVISE, I AM NOT AN ATTORNEY. ABOVE IS JUST MY SUBJECTIVE PERSONAL OPINION.
