    Travel History for ITA? : Flight with layover/ stop

    They mostly would look at your passport stamps to compare this to your travel history. Hence if there were no stamps I would think you don't need to include it. I did not do so and have obtained PPR so believe this should be correct. I just ensured my travel had all stamps in my passport covered.

    *********************WORKING EXPERIENCE WHILE ON COOP WP**********

    From what I understand and what CIC says, you cannot count any work experience while you possessed a study permit. See this link: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=394&top=29

    Can't Upload IMM5710 Form (Bridging Open Work Permit Application)

    Quick question, I noticed on the CIC website that date for that IMM5710 Form says March 2016. Hence was there a new version of the form uploaded or should I be fine to just upload the one I had downloaded earlier this month and have filled. Not a big deal to transfer the data over but the form I...

    Bridging Open Work Permit (BOWP) under express entry - connect here

    Hi! I actually had this same question when I was filling out this form yesterday. Yeah I think 'an initial work permit or permit with a new employer' is fine and in the other boxes where it asked for the employer info I simply put down "Open Work Permit - Hence N/A". Its either that I think or...

    Bridging Open Work Permit (BOWP) under express entry - connect here

    I was able to get to the TRV & Open Work Permit option even though I put 'No' for this since we technically have not received an approval for PR. Took me a while though to get to the option. You have to put your immigration status as 'Temporary Resident Holder' and that you intend to work...

    Have a related question. Do you need to submit copies of old passports? There was only one trip that I took since I was 18 that is on my old passport but am having some issues now tracking down where this old passport is.

    DEC 22 ITA Recipients >>>> Converge HERE For Next Steps

    I counted it and its less than 2 months that I visited India since I was 18. Hence I'm guessing I just ignore that the document checklist is saying multiple and only upload by Bahrain PCC?

    Thanks for your reply! I'm in Canada now working so for now have sent my fingerprints with my parents to obtain this directly from Bahrain as they reside there. In terms of the multiple PCC's I'm still confused. I have not lived in India for more than 6 months and so it is only Canada and...
