My family's paper application was returned and we are now reapplying online.

I've noticed that the online application seems shorter with not much document requested. Are people just uploading only the requested docs or are they adding additional ones?

E.g, there's no request for physical presence calculator, proof of change of name, document checklist, colored copies of passport pages, kids' school records etc Should I keep the application simple or go ahead and supply these documents regardless?

Thanks for your input.

I actually uploaded all the relevant documents whether it was required or not and also prepared a cover letter explaining the documents.

For example, all non-blank pages Passport is not required I think but I submitted anyways since it helps with entry/ exit stamps in determining PP and security checks. I see some folks being requested copy of passport pages later so it could save some unnecessary back and forth. Good luck.

Same. I uploaded all pages of the two passports I needed to provide. I didn’t want delays in case they asked for them later on.

It depends on the office that is handling your file I guess but what I am hearing from couple of other folks is it takes around 10 days to update the tracker post the test, obviously there is no specific timeline as such
