Citizenship Online Application--For how many years in the past do we need to give the immigration status?

Dear Friends,
I had travelled to 10 other countries in the last 15 years. In this section, should I give only those immigration statuses where the Valid From Date or To Date is in the last five years? Or should I go back 10 or 15 years to compile all this data.

Immigration and citizenship status

* Do you currently, or have you ever held immigration or citizenship status in a country or territory other than Canada (this includes your country of birth)?

Do I need to provide history of immigration status for the last 5, 10 or 15 years? If someone can confirm on priority, I have completed the application but need to do a final review and submit it.

IRCC doesn't care about your travels (except the ones to list in the physical presence history in the past 5 years, which is a different section of the application), but about relevant immigration status in places where you actually lived (places where you studied, worked, visited for an extended period...)
So just list the places relevant to your personal history since the day you were born, not the 10 other countries you merely "travelled to".
