Hello
I know this question has been asked several times so far but I wonder if there is, by now, a clearer view of what is actually meant or required by Q13.
I will be submitting my citizenship paper application this week and I would like to get your advice whether to include visitor visas or not. I have plenty of short trip visas half of them to UAE. And moreover, during my life I had around 30 short trip visas but the maximum rows allowein this section is 16.
Your valuable advise is highly appreciated

thanks
Hady

Hello - I'm looking for an answer to this too. IRCC confirmed on twitter to include visitor visas, but should I include it ALL lifetime visas or just the last 5 years? I have over 60 visas since I was 18 year. I prepared them in an extra sheet but not sure about including it or not

IRCC has updated this page: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/application-forms-guides/guide-0002-application-canadian-citizenship-under-subsection-5-1-adults-18-years-older.html#Step4

Question 13: Tell us if you have had immigration, permanent resident status and/or citizenship in any other country outside of Canada (e.g. your country of birth)
  • Check either yes or no.
  • If you check yes, complete the chart.
  • Tell us which countries you have held status in, and exactly what status you held or currently hold (student, employment/worker, visitor, refugee/protected person, permanent resident or citizen).
  • Date you obtained each status(YYYY-MM-DD)
  • End date if no longer valid, if applicable (YYYY-MM-DD). Leave blank if you currently hold this status
