thanks for sharing your insights and experience. Finger cross the officer for my case would have a good day and be kind / reasonable.Krzysztof *********
Not to mention, that their imagination is endless and they can easily point which documents you should have. If you rent a condo then you should have contract, owner's ID copy, government proof that he/she is the owner of the condo, your TM.30 copy and printed map or the area with street name visible (some officers request hand-drawn map, but I always have printed from Google Maps)

, recommending that you visit them yourself for latest req list... here is what i got last week:Krzysztof *********
Yes, no comparing with originals also surprised me recently. And the fact, that they have copying machines and do copies by themselves if 1-2 pages only are needed (happened in TM.30 section and L section).

@Krzysztof ********
That's OK. Officer checked your last year application then just proceed with copies. The longer story you have in IMM database, the easier process will be. Krzysztof *********
@Vladimir *******
Well, I did it for 5th time. 1st of course was crazy, but 2nd till 4th I expected to be waaay easier than it was. So, two weeks ago I was really surprised. However, after 5 years I should be able to do it online 🤣🤣Vladimir ********
@Krzysztof ********
1st time everyone visit IMM several times. Online yes, but there is a reason it can’t be done online because of form your wife must to sign. Masoud *******
OP@Krzysztof ********
, yes , felt that they are very helpful (or maybe want to get rid of us ASAP :-) )Krzysztof *********
@Masoud ******
they don't want to sit until 9pm everyday anymore 🤣

That's great that it worked out so well for you. AND it shows, if you're prepared, it can be a smooth process.
