IMM 0008 - LAST ENTRY TO CANADA

[KTCYYZ]

Hi.
Please help.
Sponsoring a spouse.
In the form IMM 008 question 11 it asks to put last date and place of entry to Canada.
However, the form is greyed and does not allow for any input.
The form guide clearly says to fill electronically and not to leave any questions in blank.
What can we do? Why does it not allow us to input anything? Do we need to print the filled form and write answer to this question by hand?

Where questions are greyed out and don't allow input it is because you are not required to answer that question. That form is generic and different fields will become unavailable depending on answers to previous questions. So, in your case that question is irrelevant (it was for me too). Ignore it.

Thanks that is what I thought. But looking at the form and the answers provided there is no answer that seems to link to this to make it grey. For example, some questions get greyed because of a previous question's answer making the next question irrelevant.
But for last entry question, there is nothing that links to this question.

Because I love mysteries, I had to try for myself....it seems that if you specify any other country than "Canada" in Question 10 it greys out question 11's fields. I guess the logic is that there's no assumption that an applicant EVER entered Canada if they're not there already.

Pretty flawed assumption by them.
Thanks a lot. That was quite smart of you!

Since this is a generic form for everyone to fill out regardless of inland or outland process, they will assume if your current resident country is in Canada, they assume you have a valid visa to be in Canada to be in the first place and they want date of entry of Canada. Remember key word is "CURRENT". Not ever entered Canada before. You can be filing inland or outland. If you picked any country other than Canada, it would assume you are not currently in Canada and likely filing outland.

I don't see any flawed asumptions you are making. Sounds pretty logic to me.

Hi,

so for the IMM008 form, my parents have visited canada multiple times but are out of the country.

So if the option is greyed out, should we fill it by hand?

Thanks,

Same question here. If my spouse entered Canada for a visit, and now we're back in our country of residence, I assume we should technically put the date she entered Canada last, right? For us that field is also greyed out..

If the applicant is not in Canada, question 11 doesn't apply, hence why it is greyed out.
