Please let me know about my old passport which was expired back in 2014. Do I need to submit it along with new passport? I had traveled on that passport for 5 or 6 times to different countries.

I would suggest to include it otherwise CIC will send you an additional information request to prove travel history.

Both options are present but I prefer including as much supporting documents as you can during application.

1) do we need to accept it like PNP nomination or just go for the form submission ..

I've actually read a lot about this since I got 2 expired passports that have stamps in almost every page, and from what I understood, you only need to upload the current passport and pages with stamps/visas.

However, since you only have one expired passport, you can also upload it, include stamped pages as well.

Congrats for your ITA. You need to click on continue application. After filling all your details the page will be available for uploading the documents.

Great! I will include the expired passport then.

hi everyone..
I am still awaiting nomination, but I find that I wish to understand the post ITA issues to avoid mistakes when it comes eventually.

please regarding travel history, is the spouse expected to provide travel history since 18th birthday as well?

what if the spouse lost his passport showing that history, and had a new passport done 3yrs ago. No recollection of the actual travel dates (knows only the travel year), and no receipts or other evidence to explain. Besides just stating verbally that travel was made to country A or country B in year A and year B..

Will there be an issue with this? or the current passport can suffice?

To follow on the question above, I thought travel history was only the last 10 years! Is it really since 18th birthday?

If that's the case then it'll be sensible to attach a Police Report for the missing passport along with an LOE to explain all the travels he has done.

Although, every candidate will be provided with personalised checklist still I want to emphasise on doing few things that will make your and immigration officer life much easier.

1) Once you get Nomination and scores increased by 600 it is confirmed that you will receive ITA in next draw. Therefore, you should apply for Upfront Medical and PCC immediately.

I always suggest applicants to wait for 2-3 working days after Medical is done before applying. The reason is that if you have some problems in Medical results it can be sorted out through panel advise before applying.

PCC may take time and sometimes there are issues with it such as not being according to CIC requirements.

2) I have seen many candidates have confusing or complicated personal history or travel history that is main reason for delay.

The thing we did with some successful applicants was suggesting them to create 2 different tables in MS Word. One with the Name of Address History and Second with the name of Personal Record since 18th Birthday.

Address History should include your address, Status in that country, Duration of stay, Purpose of stay, and Contact details.

This will organise details Analyst are looking for and will make there work easy. It will be a summary of Address and Travel History. In addition, this will cover main components of Schedule A that many applicants are asked for as an additional information.

Personal Record will help Analyst understand that what Activities you were performing since your 18th Birthday such as studying Full or Part Time, Working or Unemployed.

This should include Activity, Location, Duration, Full or Part Time.

Both of these table will be attached in Appendix of your LOE.

I also prefer additional Table in Appendix summarising list of documents attached under each of the heading of personalised checklist.

It may seems extra work but this has really helped speed up application process.

Real Life Example

I have seen two different applicants one visited 2 countries and second visited 27 countries.

One with 27 visits mentioned each address he lived in even for one day (address of hotel) and the second one just filled the application and mentioned 2 countries.

The second applicant got PPR within 2 months while the second got in 7 months. Both have same AOR dates and stream.

Talking to one of the expert I got information that Analyst wants to know complete background of an applicant. Therefore, those candidate providing complete and organised applications will be processed first.

Final Note for this post:

I would suggest every applicant to start saving their travel/address history in Excel Sheet. I have personally saved the record of address and contact details of every country I visited ever in my life.

This will help you during PR application and even more during citizenship application in future.

Wow, it is very useful information!
thank you for information, I've applied already without exact addresses for my travel history as they asked in forms only city and country, but I believe it will be very useful for others who are in process.

I am impressed by the guy who can remember all 27 addresses of hotels. for me it was difficult to gather information about mine about 30 visits to different countries as stamps in passport aren't very clear often and sometimes doesn't exist when you are back home - so it is difficult to remember how long was the trip...

You summarize almost everything. For Medicals I am sharing my own experience in steps.

1- First of all go to the following portal and look for an approved Medical center in your country of stay to get IRCC Medical Exam.
http://www.cic.gc.ca/pp-md/pp-list.aspx

2- You have to take appointment and do it at least a week before you are planning to get Medicals as some Medical centers are too much busy to cater the IRCC Medicals.

3- Fee and Mode of Payment is different for Every country. In my case they took only CASH. Better to check on phone whether they accepts cards or not.

4- All Adults as well as kids have to go through medicals.
- Kids under 5 years will go through only Physical Examination by doctor.
- If Child is more then 5 years, Urine analysis is done too in addition to Physical examination.

5- For Adults following tests are done
- Physical examination by doctor. (Including height , weight & BP)
- Chest X-Ray
- Blood testing includes HIV & Syphilis test only.
- Urine analysis

6- Depending on the Medical Center, they will give you eMedical slip or Manual form in case center is not online connected. I have received emedical slip after 3 working days when it was uploaded to IRCC.

7- Make sure to check "Non- EDE Worker" type is mentioned on the form which is for upfront medical examination.

8- If you have children less then 5 years, take a white background passport size photograph of your kids. Check with your medical center for details as I believe it would be different for emedical and Manual one.

9- If your doctor do not call you until the day of emedical form delivery, it means your medicals are PASSED. In case of any problem you will get a call from Medical center for further investigations.

10- If you have any Tattoos or any medical conditions you might have to go through extra medical investigations.

Great comprehensive information! thank you!!!
what province nomination have you applied and was it paper based or express entry? inland or outland?

I am asking because I applied in August paper based inland application after BC PNP nomination. they are suggesting to wait for invitation for medical exams... is it worth to do beforehand anyhow??

Accepted ITA Guys ,and now I will be focusing on
1)PCC in my home country (started and to be received next week,then will start its translation during the same week)
2)Medical>>>reserved by middle of next week

Hope I can finalize both while being on Vacation in my home country ...

Now
A)I started also filling my application ...details like Direct family members that r not in the application ,Eye color ,height and these kind of things ..are they really that important ?

B)Another thing I have an option in my home country to have an official document from MOI with full entry and exit details from and to the country ,but I think its for maximum 10 previous years ...is it enough for travel proof section ?

C)I will renew my passport next week ,I will send a notification to Ontario of course regarding that ...However for my PR application is it enough to update info. on the application or i have to send a specific mail to IRCC? which mail to use in this case?
