It is optional field but I suggest you to attach copy of AOR letter as it seems IRCC requires it now. As far as I remember I attached copy of AOR, extension for "travel history" section as I didn't have enough fields in PDF and explanation why I answered "yes" for the question "Have you ever been refused visa...". Combined everything in a single Word document.

I submitted my application but I don't remember travel history part. Where is that? Should I send it in a CSE?

November 4th, so they haven't started it yet. I checked the IMM5710 form and I still don't see any travel history part. Are you guys sure it's a requirement? Do you have source for it?

Thank you, I uploaded it, however, I don't see any part for travel history in it. Is it in another from? I'm from a visa exempt country, maybe that's the reason I don't see it?

Travel history is on Schedule 1(imm5257B) which is optional documents that I also validate and upload to make sure. There's no travel history in Imm 5710e same as mine.. only work history for the past 5 years.
