"Question 13.
Tell us if you have had immigration, permanent resident status, and/or citizenship in any other country outside of Canada (e.g. your country of birth)
Check either yes or no.
If you check yes, complete the chart.
Tell us which countries you have held status in, and exactly what status you held or currently hold (student, employment/worker, refugee/protected person, permanent resident or citizen).
Date you obtained each status(YYYY-MM-DD)
End date if no longer valid, if applicable (YYYY-MM-DD). Leave blank if you currently hold this status"
I have the following two questions:
1. I traveled to several countries on visas. For the "date you obtained each status" and "end date", do I need to provide:
dates for which each visa was valid (for instance 5 years) OR
exact dates during which I visited a country (10 days) although the visa is valid for 5 years
2. Do I only need to provide information about immigration status for:
the 5-year eligibility period only OR
for my entire life?
Also, do I need to provide scans of visas and entry / exit stamps?
It'll be super helpful if you can clarify and reconfirm
You don't need to put these there at all.
This question is for status in countries where you lived (or could have lived), not the visitor visas you used for a 2 weeks vacation.
For example, I didn't list my 10 years visitor visa from US, I just listed the vacations I took there in the physical presence calculator for the relevant period. And I got my citizenship in less than 6 months, for what it's worth...

For most applicants, this section is where they enter their home country's passport details. The highlight in green is pretty clear - if you have IMMIGRATED to/ from another country, you have to provide those details such as UK ILR, Aus PR etc.. Visitor visas are TEMPORARY visas and do not come under this category.
