Question 13-citizenship application

[chikaloo]

I have had some trips (as tourist) when I was a teenager some 20 years ago to several countries in Europe. I have no records of those trips now. Are tourist trips required to be added in question 13. If yes, what should I do if I have no record and I don’t even remember in which months/years I made those trips?

Hi did you by any chance got an answer for this? I’m in the same situation. Thanks!

Hi, I'm having the same problem but for my visitor visa's for United Arab Emirate which I don't have any record of it. so in this case if we don't mention them there would be no problem?

Same here. I had visitor visas for UAE and Russia which i don't have any record of. What did you end up doing? Did it help you?

I entered all the visas I have had and included a detailed explanation in the LOE. It worked.

Hi everyone, in question 13, I forgot to mention the visas that I obtained before coming to Canada a long time ago. I no longer have my passport, so it’s difficult to provide the exact dates of the visas; however, I do know the dates of my travel. Has anyone else faced the same issue? What did you do? Did you receive a response? Please help.

Many people like me did not specify visa. Only citizenship and PR details. I got my citizenship without any issues.

You should wait for IRCC to ask you about it.

I would wait for their request, as usually they don't like to receive documents they have not requested.

One more question please. The visitor status, do I put the visa validity date? Or each short visit periods when I traveled? Did you attach visa stamps?

Hi, I have the same question. What date did you put for the visitor status?

 

[amarisred1]

I sent you a DM, you can check the details

Hi,
Can you share this information with me as well? I have the same question.

Hi, I have the same question. What date did you put for the visitor status?

Hi.
What's the exact question on the form so I can remember.
But I think I might have put all dates. What someone advised to do was to create a word document with a table showing the countries visited, date of travel and reason. This is if you have lots of travels.

But I think you should keep it simple depending on the question it asked.

Thank you so much for your response. The exact question in the application is, "Do you currently, or have you ever held immigration or citizenship status in a country or territory other than Canada (this includes your country of birth)?"
So I am stuck at the "Date obtained or effective date" and "end date". Should do I put the visa validity date there? Or just the dates of the actual visit periods when I traveled?
Thanks
