Is it ok not to include trips to and from home country? My travel history spans two passports, do I need to upload them both?

I read that people have had their application rejected because they failed to upload ALL pages (stamped and not stamped). I combined my passports and even when shrinking the file size it exceeds 4 mb. What can I do to resolve this?

The requirement is to submit the bio page and all stamps and markings in your current passport. (You do not need to upload the blank pages.)

I know CIC asks for travel history. They never asked for PROOF of travel history so you do not need to upload the markings form your old passport, only the valid one.

This information would now be less than the 4mb requirement.

OK thanks for that. But what about excluding trips to/from home country? Is it advised against?

It is a tedious process but you should detail out everything out as much as possible. I provided another document that I specified each trip: destination, dates, business/leisure and uploaded that as an additional document. It asks for 10 years history if I remember correctly.
You should also scan all pages on both passports where you have stamps and if document is too large. You can google smallpdf and use it to shrink the size of the pdf.
Sometimes so countries do not stamp your passport when you leave so you just got to try to remember. Hope that helps

But what about trips to And from home country? Doesn't the system say not to include those? Do they need to be included? Because if yes I filled out the maximum number of slots and need to find another way. Ideas?

You are not required to
Mention travels between your current country of residency and your home country but i still mentioned them

So should I include a table with my full travel history in the loe since I have used up all the slots on the system?

Yes. And your old passport (only stamped pages) would be enough. Blanks are not needed.

cheers for that

I included also the old passport because my new one is issued couple of months ago and does not have any stamps so wanted to provide more evidence.
