If I understood it right, same day travels do not count (in the way it does not affect the calculation of your residency). Having said that, you should have reported them. I don't see it as a big issue, just frankly tell the offcial at the interview that you forgot those.

from what I have read on this forum, if you missed reporting travels and as a result, your residence in Canada is less than the minimum threshold, it will be an issue, they will throw your application out and you have to go through this all over again. For your case, I don't think it will happen.

I have my test on Jan 31 and I realized that I dont have my landed passport and COPR with me as I have submitted it to Indian consulate when I applied for my child's OCI three weeks back. I called BLS today and they say it is still in process with the Indian Consulate. Can I go to the test and explain my situation to the officer who verifies the originals or should I try to go to the Indian consulate and get my originals tomorrow? Please note that I have my current Indian passport with me. I landed in Canada with my previous passport, so I had submitted that along with the COPR to BLS.

Please advise on what I should be doing. Thanks.

ok. Just a general question do they check CBSA report and verify the application before sending the test date.

I had my test today, Mississauga office. Test was completed in under 5 minutes (19/20). Waited for an hour for the interview.
The interview was 5 minutes for me, for some, it went upto 15-20 minutes. It depends on the complexity in the file that they go through in front of us.
They had the complete paper based application in front of them with notes and initials of various officers at different stages of processing.

Just asked me to confirm address and place of work and asked why my wife did not apply. That is it!!

Icing on the cake is, they gave everyone that passed, invitation to oath right away with the date !

My Oath is Feb 28th , please update the tracker , thanks !

I missed FOUR trips, as I mentioned in an earlier post last week. The interviewer had the CBSA info in front of him, had it highlighted, and said, ok, you gotta figure out these 4 trips and come back to me once you figure it out. That was a stressful hour of searching my phone email from many years ago to figure it out. But, I applied with 80 days over the needed amount, so even those four trips didn't affect my total number. Hope this helps; just be honest that you forgot! That's what I did, and I got DM the next day. Hopefully positive, I can assume!
