Sponsor questionnaire IMM 5540 - query

[Beaverdiva]

Hi there,

We've almost finished our paperwork and we're hoping to file our application very soon.

Just one query about my hubby's Sponsor questionnaire - Q8 "Have you resided in countries other than Canada":-

How far back are they asking? He's lived in Canada as a child and other countries in his young adult life. It asks for addresses and telephone numbers but he can't remember every exact date and detail.

We checked the guideline papers to see if it said how far back you need to go, but it doesn't say. He gave this information when he first emigrated to Canada but didn't keep a copy of his forms at the time and he's worried that if it doesn't match up exactly with what CIC already have recorded that it might look inaccurate and get queried.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks ;D

List all the countries. Where he does not remember some detail, such as the address or phone number, just attach a separate sheet of paper where he explains this.
I could not remember the addresses of several places I lived in Asia, and the phone numbers were all cell phones. I just explained, and CIC had no problem with that aspect of the application.

It isn't specific, but I personally didn't put anything under the age of 18, and I was approved.

Thank you both, I'll pass on your advice to him
