Hello everybody:

Please advise what are the ideal documents checklist to be submitted with the PR renewal application from the very first time to avoid any further silly documents requests or secondary review or any delay. ( SHUT THEIR MOUTH FROM THE BEGINNING).

worth mentioning out of two years i only worked for month and a half and the rest studying writing exams have internship and i have no car or utility bills like hydro. net cellphone(prepaid phone) cause i was always renting basements with every thing included.

Please Advise

No such thing.

- You may always be selected for a random review

- Your circumstances don't seem to allow for building a bulletproof case anyway

- Sending extra documents from the start is yelling at them "I so much want to avoid submitting anything else". Sometimes it helps, sometimes it works against you. 

Everything depends on the particulars of your case. But being rude or unfriendly to them is very unlikely to help.

Ofcourse I wouldn't be be rude or unfriendly noway for that

my question is do i have to put all documents like 

1-not only rental agreements but also rent receipt and cheques copies
2-Not only the T ax assessments but all correspondence with CRA to show address and dates
3-Not only chequing account statements but all banking statements including VISA and saving accounts  accounts which is huge
3- Not only All exam and private tutoring receipts but all correspondences with licensing body to show address and dates
4-All medical receipts for lab work, Dental care, reports for X-rays.


Would those be too much and overwhelming to the officer

Please advise

Best approach is to follow the instructions.

Anything else risks drawing attention, which risks inviting questions. Questions tend to tip things toward more scrutiny, non-routine processing.

There are no guarantees. As already noted, no bullet-proof applications.

One overriding key factor is simply how much time has been spent in Canada. Those who cut it close (less than half their time spent in Canada for example) are obviously at much higher risk for either a Secondary Review or the full blown Residency Determination.

Overall, again, follow the instructions regarding what to submit with the application. More than what is requested is unlikely to change whether or not a Secondary Review is done. Just not the way CIC rolls.
Bureaucracy is what bureaucracy does, or When in doubt, follow the instructions. Otherwise, follow the instructions.



BTW: Not an expert, not a Can. lawyer, never worked in immigration

I would also add that your first priority should be to make it easy for the reviewing person to make a decision.

As dpenabill mentioned, the more questions you raise, the more scrutiny you are likely to face.

So if you choose to add any additional documents, I would suggest that you organize your submission in a way that is easy to interpret. For example, when I was submitting a response to "Mini RQ" (request for additional documents), I grouped them in a logical order, put them in plastic files and inserted a cover page into every file referring to the original request.

Like:

7. School records of the kids:
   - Records for years XX-XX for NAME, SURNAME
   - Records for years XX-XX for NAME, SURNAME

And then stapled and organized things in the most logical way I could imagine.

My goal was to supply everything that was requested, yet make the job of reviewer as easy as possible.

Say, if they wanted to check my income for a particular year when I traveled a lot, there was a file with my notices of assessment clearly marked so, and inside these assessments were sorted by year.

I have no idea if this affected the review of my application, and if so in what way, but I just think that goes with common sense.

If the reviewer doesn't have any questions or doubts, they would just "approve" you and move on, as they are measured on the number of reviewed applications among other things.

As soon as something doesn't click, the application risks going into "another" file - to a different department for a full verification, or so on.

Spending half a day on your application is not among the goals of the reviewer. They want to make a quick decision - either approve, reject or return the ball to you.
