Hi All,

We are finalizing documents for my Spouse who is an Indian citizen residing in U.S.A on a H1B work permit. I am a Canadian PR. As I understand for Indian spouses residing in India, applicants are asked to fill IMM 5562 - Supplemental information of travel, but when we use the document checklist for our application, for the question where Spouse is residing we enter USA and for do you need to submit documents for another country we enter India) below is the info we get. We cannot see IMM 5562, do we still need to submit it?
