IMM 5549 Question

[boredinksa]

1) IMM 5549 - Supplementary Information Form.. As an example, question 2 - countries where you have visited or lived in since your 18th birthday. You must ensure that you list all your travels according to the stamps on your passport since age 18 and indicate what was the activity/purpose of your visit in that country (i.e. tourism, business, visiting family, etc.).

Now, Question here is, my wife travelled to Netherlands but on the passport the stamp is for the FIRST PORT OF ENTRY IN EUROPE / Schengen Visa . First we landed in France and got the passport stamped and then flew to Amsterdam.
So, should I enter France or Netherlands ? or both ?

I would enter both - and type an explanation as you did here -on a separate sheet of paper.

I'd enter both too. If the 'France' entry is not really necessary, it won't hurt you to have included it.
Definitely include the Netherlands. They say 'according to the stamps on your passport', but they do not mean you can omit countries you went to if there is no stamp. They want all the countries you have been to.
If you just landed at the airport in France, got your passport stamped, and then flew to the Netherlands, you can put 'transit' for the activity or purpose of your 'visit' in France.
