Hi,

I m on the verge of completing the travel section under personal history,

On the top of the travel history section it says "Provide details of any trips xxxxx has taken outside his/her country of origin or of residence in the last ten years (or since his/her 18th birthday if this was less than ten years ago). Include all trips: tourism, business, training, etc."

My country of origin is Bangladesh and my country of residence was Hong Kong during this period. I have travelled many times between Bangladesh and Hong Kong during the last 10 years.

As far as I understand I do not need to show any travel between Bangladesh and |Hong Kong. Am I correct? Only the travels that I have done outside of these two counties...I hope my interpretation is correctly.


Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks

Hello, Were you asked to provide Travel History as additional document or is this available in the PR application after ITA? I have travelled 1 year for tourism to 30 countries around the world. I am trying to be prepared before I receive ITA. Thank you!

prepare an excel sheet as per the stamps on your passport ,and its purpose- liesure trip.Make sure you wont missout any stamp even it was e visa and you didnt get stamp on your passport .

Also,if you stayed in any country for more than 6 months ,you must apply for police clearance certificate(pcc) now .
And get you pcc done for ur home country too.Now itself .

Thank you for the response. I have already gotten PCC for the countries I stayed for over 6 months and also for home country . :)

I travelled to Singapore for one week in 2015, my doubt is-do I need to mention travel back from Singapore to my home country in a separate line ?

Had a related question (posted here https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/police-certificates-for-indians-living-in-the-us.624952/), what if I haven't lived in my home country (India) for more than 6 months in last ten years. Do I still need a PCC done from there or only current country of residence (USA)? Have not lived in any country besides USA for more than 6 months last ten years.

Police certificates (must be supplied for any country where you have spent a cumulative duration of 6 months since the age of 18)
If you meet the above mentioned criteria,you must get it done.

Can you point me to that link.

I was reading here https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/apply-permanent-residence/police-certificates.html


You must include police certificates when you apply for permanent residence.

Our online system will ask for a police certificate for:

  • you and your family members who are 18 years or older
  • and
  • every country you (or a family member) stayed in during the last 10 years for 6 months or more in a row
It also gives this example :

Example B: 7-month stay 20 years ago


Feras is 45 years old. He worked in Turkey for 7 months when he was 25 years old. The system will not ask him for a police certificate from Turkey.

Sorry forgot to mention that 10 years slab.My bad.

But still visa officer can ask for pcc.

Check out the line -

After you apply, an officer may ask for additional police certificates from any time in your life since you were 18 years old.

In the same link you posted.

Thank you, I was worried I misread something.

So then my other question was how do they measure ten years, I moved to the USA in July 2009 and have been here since (outside of 1 month visits to India). If I apply in June 2019 (hopefully), then counting back ten years to June 2009, I do not meet the criteria. But if they count back to Jan 2009 (full calendar years) then I do meet this critera, so confused as to whether need from India as well or not.

Please check my above post carefully .

Although you left India in june 2009 ,they might ask you the pcc for India.

So,its better to get it done to avoid future delay in processing .

Thanks, yes that is true. I will start that process of getting PCC for India (not even sure how to get it from India :( )
But I guess at least it is not blocking from entering the application.
