Frequently asked questions

How far back do I list my travels?

Most applications ask for the last ten years, or since your eighteenth birthday if that is more recent. Follow the exact wording in your guide or request letter, since requirements differ by program.

What if I cannot remember exact dates?

Give your best accurate estimate and be consistent with any dates elsewhere in your application. Do not leave gaps unexplained, as officers may ask you to account for missing periods.
