Received email from New Delhi office on Aug 17 asking to submit a few more documents:
1. Sponsors' full passport (even the blank pages) even though relevant pages of the passport have already been submitted.
2. Any photographs and visits after submitting the application.
3. And a few more documents that I believe have already been submitted with my application.
It appears that they are purposely trying to delay the PR.
Can they request for documents even after submitting the passport ?
1. they want Sponsor's full passport to check travel history, if sponsor is still inside Canada or not. (they do that, if sponsor is PR and VO has doubts about his/her current status, i mean living inside or outside canada because PR sponsors are supposed to stay inside canada for whole processing time except short trips of 2-3 weeks)
2. VO wants to confirm continuing relationship with sponsor after file submission. (VO has doubt about genuine relationship)
3. submit those docs again, they might have lost or want updated docs.
you should order GCMS notes now to know the reason for additional doc request and your VO's notes about your application.
best of luck
