TRAVEL HISTORY DILEMMA! URGENT!! PLEASE HELP!

[sudeep.chatterjee]

Had a query regarding my travel history:

I had travelled to Macau (Hong Kong) for 3 days from India and it gives visa on arrival.
And they had given me a small piece of paper as the visa and there wasn't any stamps on my visa from HongKong or from Macau.
And that paper now has smudged as it was on the same kind of paper on which movie tickets are there which gets smudged after some months and currently nothing is visible on it.
But the entry and exit stamps from Mumbai airport are there on my passport.

Will this be a problem for CIC while declaring my travel history for Express Entry?
I can provide the Boarding Passes for my flight. and also the flight ticket for the same, but in case of the flight ticket, its just a simple word document listing down the details of the flight.

Please advise if this will be fine or will it be a problem and how to approach it. It's URGENT. Thanks!

Just mention the trip in your travel history. You do not need to provide any proof unless CIC asks for it. And they will not ask you about a 3 day trip in Macau.

Agreed! But won't CIC find anything suspicious about my trip as there are no stamps from HongKong or Macau and the only stamps which I have are of the Mumbai Airport on my passport?
Coz from what I remember I have to submit all the scanned pages of my passport, right?

Well you left Mumbai airport, you must have went somewhere. You will mention Macau in your trip and CIC will have access to the information that you get a slip in that case and not a visa stamp.

People mention all the countries when they travel to Schengen Area. The just have an entry and exit stamp. No stamps when traveling between Schengen members. The main purpose of travel history is to determine whether you need a PCC for a country or not.

So well, that's the tricky part, the slip which I have is completely smudged. And nothing really is visible on it. So looking at that slip won't really help anyone to show that I was at Macau. That's exactly the reason why I was getting more worried as neither do I have the stamps, nor do I have the visa slip (as it's smudged). The only stamps I have is of the Mumbai Airport for Entry and Exit.
So what should I do? Please advise!

You do not need a proof of travel history. If you want, just mention in LOE why you do not have a stamp.

Upload the paper. Example: uk doesn't give visas on the passport but they issue a biometrics card. I uploaded that

Uploading the Paper won't do any good. As the paper is almost fully smudged and nothing is visible on it. Nothing is visible on the face of it. It's just a blank piece of paper.
Maybe a suitable explanation regarding my problem in the LOE mite help.
