Immigration Forum / Canada / July 2008Help for filing Q13 in IMM 5257 TRV application form
Hi, I have a question regarding filing Q13 which says like this : During the past five years have you or any family member accompanying you lived in any other country than your country of citizenship or permanent residence for more than six months. The question is I am filling an application for me and my wife. For last 3 years we are staying in USA, but we have gone to India twice in the last 3 years. So do I have to fill out all the entry and exit to USA in last 3 year or just the last entry to USA. If I have to fill the last entry to USA in "From" what will be the date in "To". Or If I have to fill all entry and exit, I don't see enough space over there, only 3 lines are there to fill this information. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Yogesh The question refers to stays of 6 months or longer so if you were just visiting India for less than that do not report those stays.

If however you are an Indian Citizen, and a temporary visa holder in the USA, then the time in the USA must be reported on that form. Just print a second copy of the page and add it to the set of forms to fit it all in. The most recent "to" is "to present" or the date on which you signed the forms.

Do I end to send some kind of cover letter with my application? If yes, where can I get a sample cover letter. Thanks, Yogesh You don't really need a cover letter unless there is something that you want to tell them that you did not get a chance to on the form. If there is something that you want to add about the reason for the visit, then go ahead and add a letter, but don't add one if it adds nothing to the officer's decision making process. Address the letter to the Consulate General of Canada ( not the embassy - thats in Washington) Chris Daw www.dawimmigration.com On Jul 22, 9:03 am, Daw Immigration Solutions <chris....@dawimmigration.com> wrote: > You don't really need a cover letter unless there is something that > you want to tell them that you did not get a chance to on the form.

Thanks Arif > So do I have to fill out all the entry and exit to USA in last > 3 year or just the last entry to USA. In my case before, when I lived in USA I never stay in extended time outside USA (each trip outside USA at most few weeks), so I put the date the *first* time I went to USA to move there, and put for "To" date, the date I filled the form - when I still live in USA, or - after move out from USA - the date I moved out from USA. I did not put all the short trip between those dates. > If I have to fill all entry and exit, I don't see enough space > over there, only 3 lines are there to fill this information. You can always attach additional paper listing additional information. Put down "see attachment" in the particular entry in the original form.
