Did you list visitor visas as "Immigration status" ?

[Paul48]

I'm a bit confused about whether the "immigration status" includes the tourist visa.

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)?

I'm filling out the online application and I've noticed a drop-down menu that includes "visitor" in the options. Do you have to add the visitor visas as well?

and what about the eTA I have for the US? Is that considered a visa? But I won’t know the dates…

If you "lived" in the country on some long term visitor visa that allows you to spend a long period there, for example something similar to the Canadian supervisa, list it.
If the visitor status was purely for vacation, a few weeks at a time, no need to.

Immigrant visas are issued to foreign nationals who intend to live permanently in the United States. Nonimmigrant visas are for foreign nationals wishing to enter the United States on a temporary basis - for tourism, medical treatment, business, temporary work, study, or other similar reasons.

I would say then do fill that information. More information better than less. Good luck!

Now that I’m thinking about, I got another dilemma.
As EU citizen, I spent two years studying and working in another EU country (this was reflected in my address history when I applied for PR).
Does this mean I held “immigration status” in another eu country? There’s freedom of movement within eu, so obviously no visa or anything like that, but it’s still a different country

I included all my 10+ short-term tourist visas. Application was processed smoothly, so I would do it just in case

how did you define start and end dates of the tourist visas? For instance, when I travel to the US I do it on the visa waiver program so I don’t have any visa to use for start and end dates

Include all the information. You can also include a letter of explanation.
