Issue with application for re-entry visa: MyCIC requires Travel Itinerary.

[abrvalg]

Hi,

I am currently a worker in Canada.

I have renewed my open work permit and am currently applying for the Canadian re-entry visa. When filling the questionaire in the MyCIC, I answered that I am a worker in Canada and that I am currently in Canada. However, when it asks for the forms/documents, I have 2 issues:

1. The form says: " Application for Visitor Visa (Temporary Resident Visa) Made Outside of Canada (IMM5257) (required)"

It looks strange to me. I am inside canada, why does the form say "Made Outside of Canada"?

2. One of the required documents is "Itinerary, Travel (required)"

I do not have any particular travels planned. I will most likely travel this summer and I may also need to do work-related travel to USA. Especially for travel to USA, I may have only a week or so notice.

What should I do? Should I go ahead and fill the "Made Outside of Canada" form and write a letter explaining the situation and attach it instead if iternary?

Thank you for your advice!

Yes you can use IMM5257 for the TRV while inside Canada,you can ask for itinerary from your travel agent its free thou,

Thanks.

Regarding Iternary, I have no actual trips planned at this moment. I need a TRV in case I do need to go outside Canada.

I have applied for a TRV from inside Canada before and no Iternary was required.

Hi,

I have the same issue. I have already renewed my work permit and now that I want to renew my visa it is asking for "Itinerary travel" document. I was wondering what did you end up doing?

Thanks!
