Its IMM5257. Login to your MyCIC account and then click on application for study,work and visitor link. You will be asked to fill a questionnaire to check the eligibility. Once you are eligible, it will prompt you to the page where you will find the list of documents to be uploaded.

If your applying as a visitor to extend your stay, then you fill IMM5708 form. You already has the work permit so you will be filling IMM5257.

Check this link out for more info.

Trying filling the questionnaire again.

No worries cecsur. When I applied for Work Visa extension, my form was also the one "Outside Canada".
As additional, I attached an "Explanation letter", in which I explained that the online system gave me the form for "Outside" Canada, while I'm living inside the country. But this letter is not mandatory, it was just on my own.

So you are good to go :)

Hi,

I am having the same issue. After answering the questions my form comes correctly (IMM5257E) but my spouse come as (IMM5708E) which is wrong.

I am thinking about applying on paper or distinct online applications.. anyone got around this? Is it possible to apply for both TRV online at same time?

Thanks
