Hey everyone!

I am currently in Canada on an employer-specific work permit. I have applied for Permanent Residence (Family Class), which according to the current IRCC processing times won't be finalized until late 2018.

I have been offered a new job, and I am in the process of applying for a new work permit. My job is LMIA-exempt, and I've done the process a couple of times before. However, this time MyCIC is listing a new form that wasn't requested before:
Schedule 1 - Application for a Temporary Resident Visa Made Outside Canada (IMM 5257).

It is listed under the 'optional documents' section, but I just wanted to check whether I should fill this form in or not? I never had to do it before. I'm also living in Canada so even the name of the form doesn't apply to me.

Any thoughts would be most appreciated. The reason I am hoping not to do it as it asks for my travel history over the past 5 years and it is extensive! Just trying to avoid doing it if I don't have to.

Thanks!

Hi, Did you fill this out? I am also applying for BOWP. I want to clarify if this IMM 5257 is needed as well.
