Hello
I received my AOR on 05 December. I applied FSW PNP stream, medicals passed on 08 December.
I got a question that just came to my mind:
I visited France in August, and from there, I took the train to Belgium and Netherlands and back to Paris, all by train. So the stamps on my passport show that I entered and departed from Paris. When I was updating my travel history, and since the stamps on passport are from Paris only, I didn't mention Belgium and Netherlands. Do you think this will be an issue?

thanks.

Considering you were travelling on (presumably) a Schengen visa and there's no real "record" of your travel to Belgium and Nederlands (they'd have told you disembark if the Border agents felt you were not allowed to travel on your visa), I think your record of Paris (entry and exit) should be sufficient.

Yes, I was on Schengen and there are no records for borders except for Paris. I meant to stick to the passports stamps when I updated it..

Fingers cross!

I have been in similar situation and after discussion with consultant - i have mentioned all the travel within EU (no border checks), even 1-2 day trips. Just wanted to be safe than sorry :)

Dear all,

I just checked my profile and found out that medicals changed to passed, I didn't receive any emails informing such a change of status. Is this normal?

Totally. You might receive one after 24 - 48 hours or you might not receive one at all. Cannot rely on the status update e-mails anymore and hence it is prudent to login and check the status regularly.
