Address History / Travel History

[ih01]

Hi,

Hoping someone has similar experience and can advise. I appreciate any help that can be provided.

I was working for a UK based company and was working on a project for a US client. Within the space of 24 months, I spent 18 months in the US on business trips (split up in 5 different different trips varying in length, between 3 months and 6 months at a time).

I lived in three different apartments in the US paid for by my UK employer. Two of the US apartments were leased in my name and I expensed the rent. I gave up my UK apartment lease during this time, as it was more cost effective to stay in Airbnbs when coming back to the UK than leave an apartment mostly unoccupied.

I've drafted my application and included my US addresses in address history for this time period, and also included my time in the US in travel history as business trips (since I was never really a resident in the US - still worked for UK company and got paid in the UK, etc).

Does anyone have any insight if this is acceptable to include in both address and travel history? Should I include any LOE?

I guess I'm slightly concerned that IRCC will see my work history as working for a UK company but my address history suggests US residence for that time period.

The primary purpose of the address history and travel history is to alert IRCC whether police clearances are required or not.

Explain the situation in your LOE, especially the fact that because you were not in the UK for extended periods, that you saw it as more cost-effective to live in temporary accommodation after a certain point.

HI , what did you do eventually? I am facing a similar problem. Saw this thread. Should I include a 3 month buisness trip to another country in address and travel history or only ion travel history?
