Is there a limit to additional documents you can send the VO?

[Zarilenth]

Hi. I got my sponsorship approval on March 7th 2014 and my application has been transferred to Ottawa. As I've been reading the forum and thinking about my app, I realize I forgot to include a lot of stuff.
My question is, is there a limit to the amount of stuff I can send the VO? Like, if I send ~100 pages of relationship proof and missing docs, will they be upset/return it? I don't think they will, I'm just being careful.

I have to send in my proof of medicals anyway, so I was planning on including some extras.
What I'm sending:

A copy of my sponsorship approval letter (3 pages) with the note about sending the medical receipts
Receipts of the medicals (7 pages)
FBI clearance for the applicant (1 page - wasn't included in the original app)
Re-do of one of the form - we didn't write that my husband was denied a temp. work visa so want to fix that.
18 high gloss color printed pictures of the development of our relationship. We only included black and white printed images before.
11 pages of MSN chats from the beginning 8 months of our relationship. Couldn't figure out how to get them before, so included no chat logs from that time of our relationship.
21 pages of facebook profile and messages. We included ~6 pages in the original one but wanted to add more detailed ones.
18 pages of our google 'hangouts' chats from every single month of our relationship (starting when we stopped using MSN). Included only 5ish in the original app.
17 pages of printed out history of our call log going back to Feb 2011, as far back as the history goes. We used google voice to call and couldn't figure out how to get the history before. No call log was included in the original app.
3 pages of mail as proof we were living in the same place for a while (that's all we have, we didn't save much mail). We are married so didn't need as much as this. We wrote we lived at the same address and included a rental agreement but no mail.
1 page - I added him to my work insurance and he is my beneficiary. Didn't include it before as I didn't have it until last month.

TL;DR: including 100 additional pages of relationship proofs/missing documents in a package to send to VO. Too much?

Did you rush to send your application? My wife and I only sent her application after scrutinizing it for about a month. That being said, I think you should wait until the VO contacts you if they need / require any documents. Also, it's the quality of the information / proof you choose to send, not the quantity. The more unnecessary items you send, the longer it will take the VO to check and verify them.

We didn't rush, really.. took us more than a month to get it ready. Most of the stuff I have listed here, I either didn't know how to get, didn't think we needed, or wasn't ready yet (for example, the background check). I had a very casual approach in mind about the whole application when we sent it in, and now I am just a bit worried. I am sending this package in now, as they have requested proof of the medicals, and I figure why not send everything at once?

You should have waited to send the application after you had all the required documents and made sure you included all information about your husband (denied work visa). I guess you could send the what you forgot to send with the medicals.

Am I missing something? You said u had 7 pages of medical receipts. I had one page.

I know. I guess we rushed in that case. I'm regretting it now, if that's any consolation?

Yeah, I'm not sure why we had so many. I'm sure you're not missing anything - has your ecas updated to 'medical results received'? I have that many pages of receipts because I got one page with the list of stuff done at the doctor's office, 4 pages of the e-medical info sheets, a sheet for the chest x-ray, and a sheet for the blood work. They sent us to two separate places for the x-ray and blood work.

I tend to agree with the quality over quantity approach. While we did include significant Skype/email/FB outputs, I tried to show that we also encountered a couple of trying situations that in the end solidified our bond. Example: dealing with an illness whereby we showed hospital bills, rehab photos and so on....if that's not evidence of a commitment to someone I don't know what is. I've been lucky enough with my job situation to be able to go visit my wife FIVE times in the last year, all of those visits were well documented. I'm going over again next week and I thought should I continue to keep records of travel, etc. but decided at a certain point enough is enough. We will be sending in a change of address for my wife AND most importantly an additional proof of child custody, just hope it gets fixed to our file.
