Form IMM 5562, Supplementary Information - Your Travels, is the travel history form used with Canadian immigration applications. It asks the principal applicant, and in many streams their spouse or partner and dependent children over 18, to list all trips taken outside their country of origin or residence during the period the instructions specify, including the destination, dates, length, and purpose of each trip.
IMM 5562 is a dynamic XFA form, so it only opens in Adobe Acrobat Reader on a computer. Download the official PDF from this page, save it locally, and open the saved copy in Acrobat Reader; a browser tab shows only a placeholder page. IRCC replaces form versions periodically, so confirm on canada.ca that yours is current before you submit.
What is Form IMM 5562 used for
Travel history supports admissibility screening. Officers use it to see where applicants have spent time, cross-check it against passport stamps and visas, and identify stays that might call for police certificates or additional scrutiny. It is most often requested with permanent residence applications, but IRCC can ask for it in other streams as well.
Consistency is the point of the form. Your travel entries should agree with your address history, work history, and the stamps in your passport, since discrepancies are one of the easiest things for an officer to spot.
Who completes IMM 5562
Check your document checklist to see who in your family must complete it and what period it must cover. Commonly the covered period is the years the guide specifies, often the last ten years or since turning 18, and it includes short trips.
- The principal applicant always completes their section.
- Sections exist for a spouse or common-law partner and for dependent children aged 18 or over, when the checklist requires them.
- Trips of any length within the covered period should be listed, including brief visits, unless your instructions say otherwise.
How to fill out IMM 5562
Open your saved copy in Adobe Acrobat Reader and complete the table for each person. Reconstruct your history before you start typing: old passports, airline confirmations, and calendar records help you pin down dates.
- List each trip with the from and to dates, destination country and city, and the purpose, such as tourism, work, study, or family visit.
- If you took no trips in the period, say so in the manner the form provides rather than leaving it blank.
- Use extra sheets in the format the instructions describe if you run out of rows, and label them with your name and the form number.
- Match spellings of places and dates to your other forms and your passport stamps.
Common mistakes to avoid
Most travel history problems come from memory gaps rather than dishonesty, but officers cannot tell the difference on paper, so accuracy protects you.
- Omitting short trips, layovers with entry, or land border crossings that appear in passport records.
- Date ranges that conflict with the address or employment history on IMM 5669 or other forms.
- Forgetting travel on a previous passport that has since been replaced.
- Submitting an old version of the form; verify the current one on canada.ca.
