Hello,
I recently applied through the express entry system for permanent residency (around 1.5 months ago) and received a message today to fill out a supplementary form (IMM5562e).
The form 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 (or since your 18 birthday if this was less than 10 years ago). Include all trips: tourism, business, training etc. If you or your family member did not travel outside of your country during this period, check "did not travel".
I was born and raised in Dubai, U.A.E, however U.A.E does not grant citizenship to expatriates, hence my nationality is the same as my parents - Indian. (i.e: My passport is Indian). I lived in Dubai until the age of 19 after which I came to Ontario, Canada for university. During this course, I would travel back to Dubai during summer vacation. For one summer vacation, I traveled to Mumbai, India to visit my extended family and then flew into Dubai for a few days and back to Canada for my last year of university. I currently live and work in Ontario, Canada.
I was hoping, I could get some clarification on what I would/should consider my country of residence and origin. As I hold an Indian passport, my country of origin should be India. Hence, would I be including my time in Canada as my country of residence? Or since my family still lives in Dubai, would that end up being my country of residence?
When I submitted my application, I included all my trips, i.e. Canada to U.A.E, U.A.E back to Canada and for one time Canada to India. I assume they have asked me to submit this again because I haven't fully understood the term "country of residence" as my travel history did not follow the guidelines.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated and I apologize if these questions sound trivial. I just don't want my application to be rejected over a misunderstanding
Thank you and best of luck on your application

P.S. - I have included an image link of what the form looks like
