I am confused about this too as I read through the forms. I have travelled to many countries and it will be like tracing back to 25 years ago!! Do I need to go back so far ? I am in my fifties now. I do sometimes wonder if my age is going to pose a problem to my applications.

Age is not an issue.

What form is this?
Are you applying via Paris?

My list was originally three pages long, then I realized I was not filing via Paris :)

I did the same, spent ages piecing together dates I'd traveled, filled it all out on the form then realised it was only for the paris office!
I could have saved myself a weeks worth of work :p

Mark - Are you saying they expect copies of passport pages for everywhere you've been? My passport has expired since my travels back in 2002 and 2005, I don't even have the old passport anymore. I hope they don't need copies of that because I"m screwed.
Just your current passport I just photocopied every page and sent it in. I have done a lot of travelling and there are so many stamps it is sometimes hard to decipher lol

I am SO confused re: visiting a friend in London for less than 2 weeks back in 2005.
I mean, I didn't LIVE in London, I visited for a week. So I'm thinking don't include it , but afraid to get in trouble for not saying I entered the UK! Not sure what to do here!
For the section of the forms where it asks for everywhere you have lived, you do not include places you stayed on vacation! When you went to visit your friend in London, you were still living in Canada (or wherever).
Now, if you have to fill in the "travel" form, then yes, you have to list every place you have been - but most people do not have to fill out this form. If you are applying through Paris you do.
