Need assistance - Travel history for PR card renewal

[fsiddiqui80]

Hi,

Would be grateful for some help.

I landed with my family as an Immigrant in September 2011. Stayed in Canada for 2 weeks and then returned to Dubai, UAE. We permanently relocated to Canada in August 2013 and now applying for renewal of PR card which expires in November 2016.

While we were based in Dubai, from October 2011 to July 2013 ; we did a lot of travelling to various countries and there a lot of entry and exit stamps on the passports some of which override and difficult to understand.

As part of the PR renewal application , do I need to mention each and every travel history of mine since I became a permanent residents or just submit translated copies of each passport page would suffice?

thanks,

Hi there,
You have to submit copies of all pages of your passports plus translations for all stamps on all pages. It sounds like crazy, but you have to do it. Probably the IRCC will not read all of them, but definitely they will count each of them. The numbers of translation should be the same as numbers of stamps. Good luck.

Further to the original question, a related one... In relation to Travel History section of form IMM5444E for PR card renewal and would value any guidance.

1. On a few occasions, when I entered or left UAE, I did not get a passport entry or exit stamp from the UAE, as they were being lazy at the desk and said I did not need a stamp as I was resident there on a work visa, even though I asked for one. In these cases, is it sufficient to provide a printed copy of E-ticket and/or boarding pass that supports my claim for the date of exit or entry from that country in lieu of an actual stamp?

2. For some countries for example Turkey I will fly in and then spend a few days in Istanbul then a few other days in Ankara within Turkey. Can this be mentioned as cities visited within a single country e.g. "2014-06-01 2014-06-10 Turkey, Istanbul & Ankara" *without dates for each city*?

3. For night flights where I lose a day between the exit stamp and the next entry stamp, should I mention this as for example: "2015-12-01 2015-12-02 Lose a Day in Travel by Air" or similar?

4. Some of the stamps in my passports do not have all the digits (numbers) visible for the date due to lack of ink or a bad stamp. In such cases, do I need to provide a supplemental information in the form of e-tickets and/or boarding pass copies to permit CIC to verify the date of entry or exit independently?

Thanks for the benefit of your experience!
