Form 0008, Q#10 - "To date"

[DoWhatNick]

Hi, I'm living in Canada, visitor status, and filling out Form 0008 question #10 "Current country of residence" which asks for a "To date" which I'm uncertain on what to enter. "Indefinitely" isn't an option. Should I possibly enter in the date that my visitor status would expire, even tho I have no plans to leave?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!

I put the date I intend to leave my current address and move to Canada. I included a note explaining why I put the date in the future.

Leaving it blank before printing and handwriting in 'present' or 'current' is the option we opted for.

I spent more time looking at this issue and I found that the PDF form has hint pop-ups which in this case gives more information than the online guide from cic.gc.ca. For the "To" field it says:

"The end date of your immigration status in your current country of residence"

So it sounds to me that they want the date that my visitor status in Canada would expire.

Just wanted to report back with my findings as this might be helpful for others, and to see if there are other opinions that differ from my take on that hint.

Thanks!
