Form IMM 0104, Details of Education / Employment / Travel, is a supplementary history form that Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada requests from some applicants during processing. It asks for a granular account of schooling, jobs, and trips, and it typically comes up during enhanced background screening, when officers want more detail than the standard application forms capture.
IMM 0104 is a dynamic XFA form and only opens in Adobe Acrobat Reader on a computer. Download the official PDF from this page, save it, and open the saved copy in Acrobat Reader; a browser will only show a placeholder page. If IRCC sent you a request letter, follow any version and deadline instructions in that letter, and confirm the current form version on canada.ca.
What is Form IMM 0104 used for
Officers request IMM 0104 when they need a deeper history than forms like Schedule A provide, often in connection with security screening. The form's education, employment, and travel sections let screening partners trace exactly where an applicant studied, worked, and travelled, with dates, institutions, employers, job duties, and destinations.
Receiving a request for this form is not an accusation. It is a routine screening tool for applicants whose profiles involve certain countries, fields of study or work, or extensive travel. What matters is responding completely, accurately, and by the deadline in the request.
Who completes IMM 0104
You complete it only when IRCC asks for it; it is not part of standard application packages.
- Permanent residence applicants asked for additional background detail during processing.
- Temporary residence applicants in streams where extra screening applies, when requested.
- Family members named in the request letter, each completing their own form where required.
How to fill out IMM 0104
Open the saved PDF in Adobe Acrobat Reader and assemble your source material before typing: transcripts, employment records, reference letters, old passports, and travel bookings. The value of this form to IRCC is precision, so vague entries defeat its purpose and invite follow-up requests.
- Cover the full period the request letter specifies, with no unexplained gaps between entries.
- For education, include institutions, campuses, programs, fields of study, and exact dates.
- For employment, include employers, addresses, positions, and a factual description of duties.
- For travel, list destinations, dates, and purposes consistently with your IMM 5562 and passport stamps.
- Keep every detail consistent with the forms you already submitted; discrepancies are what screening flags.
Responding to an IRCC request
Requests for IMM 0104 come with a deadline, and missing it can lead to refusal for non-compliance. If you genuinely need more time, ask IRCC for an extension before the deadline passes rather than after.
If your history includes entries you are unsure how to characterize, such as compulsory military service or work in a sensitive sector, an RCIC or immigration lawyer can help you describe it accurately. Never omit something because it feels awkward; omissions discovered later are treated as misrepresentation.

It is usually part of enhanced background screening, triggered by factors like countries lived in, fields of work or study, or extensive travel. It is a routine step for many applicants and not an accusation of wrongdoing.
More detailed than your original application. Provide exact dates, full names of institutions and employers, and factual descriptions of studies, duties, and trip purposes for the entire period requested, with no gaps.
Ask IRCC for an extension through the channel indicated in the letter before the deadline passes, explaining why. Ignoring the deadline risks refusal for failing to comply with a request.
Yes, wherever the facts overlap. If you discover an error in something you submitted earlier, correct it openly in your response rather than papering over it, since consistency checks are the point of the exercise.
