IMM 5562 - confusion

[rantoie]

The IMM 5562e form "Supplementary Information - Your Travels" states the following:

"List all trips you, and if applicable, your family members have taken outside your country of origin or of residence in the last ten years"

I am a US citizen, but my country of residence is Canada.

Does this mean I should list all trips that I have taken outside of the US, or outside of Canada in the last ten years? Does this mean I do not need to list trips that were between the US and Canada?

Ten years is a long time. I have a clear record of things four years back, but I'm struggling to find information for before then.

You do not need to list trips between the US and Canada. You need to list all other international travel in the past 10 years.

Yes, 10 years is a long time, but it shouldn't be that hard to track your international travel. To begin with, your passport will have stamps in it with the the date you entered a country. For the flights you took - don't you have receipts in your email?

Thanks 21Goose. That helps.

Normally, yes, it shouldn't be hard to track international travel, but in my case I was traveling every other week, and my passport was stolen I have been trying to reconstruct everything, from receipts, but wow not easy.

Also... if I flew to Munich, I get a stamp for Munich, but then I took the train to Zagreb, and I got a stamp there, and then on my way back I flew from Zagreb to Paris, had one day lay over there, and then flew to Amsterdam, before flying home. I spent 2 weeks in Zagreb, but only one day in Munich, Paris and Amsterdam, but I've got stamps for those, so do I include them?

You need to be as accurate as you possibly can. Do everything you can to remember.

If you show that you've done the very best you can to be accurate, and then write a letter explaining that you have really tried but it's possible that a trip may have been missed because your passport was stolen or whatever, it should be ok.

You do not need to list trips between the US and Canada. You need to list all other international travel in the past 10 years.

@21Goose
I am sponsoring my father for PR. The principal applicant (my father) has to do the following form as part of the application: Supplementary Information: Your Travels [IMM 5562] , it says:

"...List all trips you, and if applicable, your family members have taken outside your country of origin or of residence in the last ten years..."

My father has only traveled to and from his country of Origin/citizenship (which is Belgium) into Canada over the past 10 years on multiple trips back and forth between the 2 countries.
So essentially, he has been to 2 countries in his life: Belgium and Canada. And during his visits to Canada, he was always on a visitor visa (actually he is here now on visitor visa , so I assume he is a temporary resident).

So my question is, does he still need to fill IMM 5662? Or is this only applicable if he had traveled to countries other than Belgium and Canada?

Thanks
