that's what i thought too, though there are some recent outland applicants who have done this, and it didn't affect SA. CIC simply requested them to be sent to the visa office in the SA letter. The explanation given by these applicants is that those items are for the applicant, and have no bearing on the sponsor's application.

Agreed, that the SA is just that; Sponsor approval, which does not require the applicant for PR's medical or criminal report, but it's more a matter of CIC seeing the application as incomplete, since these items are in fact on the checklist for the applicant.

The leniency for the Inland applicants is likely due to CIC's own awareness of the ridiculous processing times, before those are `really' needed for assessment.

i understand what you're saying ponga... check out this conversation (page 3). this is the basis of my statement since at least 2 outland applicants (probably more) have had success with this.
it seems what they may consider "incomplete" is if IMM forms are missing, not medical or police records... even for outland applicants.
