Do I need to list USA Tourist Visa as immigration status ?
I did my education in USA (Year 2006-2011)...do I have to mention that under Immigration status and later it changed to Work Status (Year 2011-2013) then changed to Visitor Status? ..Please Clarify...does these have to be listed as Current or during Eligibility Period?

Were you on F1 visa or you had green card when you were student? And when did you land as PR in Canada?
I was on Student Visa (2006-2011)the stamping was on my Stolen Passport) which I don;t have it anymore.
Landed as PR in 2012. That time I had Work Permit (Visa H1B) in USA

I can't access the citizenship at the moment to see what they ask you exactly. But work visa and student visa are non-immigration status.

I would list your student / work (H1B) US visas. But not the Visitor status.

I am listing my wife's TD US Visa even though it is outside her 5 year eligible period. The question does say "Have you ever had...". Note that it does not say "in the past 5 years...."

Application specifically list Status (eg student, employment/worker, refugee, PR or citizen)

Theres so much ambiguity in the form..since everything in the form is based on eligibility period ..including Current..It wouldnt matter alot
