Good afternoon everyone!
I am doing my Open work Permit application with my Common law Sponsorship Application. I am a bit confused with one of the questions in the form, the IMM 0008 (12-2016)E. The question 10, "Current country of residence", the part of From-To, I am a student right now, and I have a study permit. The dates that I put there are since I came (I came as a visitor and then change)? Or the dates of my Study Permit (or Study visa)?. I read the Guide but it says from the date I enter to now (I am still here), but then when I click over the question it says "The start date of your immigration status in your current country of residence"?
I am not sure which dates should be written there.

You'd put the dates you were living in Canada, whether you were a visitor or student doesn't matter. They'd be the same for both since you are residing here currently.
