Travel History in Express Entry Profile

[explorerCA]

I think you'll be fine. I had a list of 10-15 countries that I had to add to the list since there are only so many rows I could fill online in the application form. I filled the rest out in a word document but forgot to upload it as an LOE. My application was approved and no additional information was requested.

Travel between your country of residence and your country of origin does not need to be reported.

It is incorrect that the idea of the travel history is to "explain" each stamp in your passport. CIC does not even want to see the stamps in your passport (the bio page is enough) and does not require your old passports. The stamps are helpful of course in retracing your travel history so you don't forget anything.

For example, many European countries do not stamp the passport once you are in the Schengen-zone, but you still need to report travel to individual countries even if you don't have a stamp. Some other countries no longer stamp passports but use an electronic system to keep track of entry and exit.

So in other words, follow the instructions. Report all international trips outside your country of residence or origin, whether you have a stamp for it or not.

Hi, I travel to UK first at 2003 then again to 2005 and finally come back at 2010. Now on my travel history from last 10 year should I start from 2003 or 2005? Both year would be more than 10 years, but I have to declare it so can I start from 2003 or 2005? I went there on study visa. Please advice.

Hello Experts,

After ITA, we need to complete online application... In Travel History I have few questions:

I am from India and came to Canada during Jan-2014. I have visited India 3-4 time in last 3 years.

1) Do i need to mention all those travel ?

2) Do I need to include my first travel from India to Canada ?

Thanks in advance.

Hey,

Sorry I am asking questions in your thread directly.
But, I just wanted to know what did you write for both questions in your travel history.

I am filling my details and I have same two questions.

Any help would be great.

Thank you

You need to mention ALL travel in the last 10 years. I had traveled to 20+ countries so the no. of visits didn't fit in the space provided. I uploaded a pdf document as a LOE providing all my travel history for the past 10 years as well.

I stayed in Belgium for 1 year. In this Period of time i visited 17 EU countries and those entries were not stamped in Passport. Do i need to list all trips? In my passport i could show 5/6 countries as a evidence. Then what will i do?

List as much as you remember. If you saved any emails containing flight tickets/hotel bookings etc., that can help. Then also attach an LoE and say that you have included your travels to the best of your knowledge. They won't penalize you if you don't remember absolutely everything.

Guys, I have travelled to few countries during the last 5 years and I lost my passport in France in 2019. Now can I not mention those travels as I cannot prove? I'm thinking of mentioning only the travel history in the new passport?

Thanks

I think I go with providing as many details as you can remember - especially those countries without stamps.e.g. Europe in-and-out record.
I have another possibly very amateur question: what if you transfer in one airport? does it count as the country you have been to? I went to Germany but I got transferred in Copenhagen and that is the stamp where I left Schengen area - should I also list Denmark as one of my travelled countries?
Thanks.

Thanks

to my understanding you shall provide a letter of explanation... and try to remember as many trips as possible, as previously some other experts mentioned: hotels booking emails, airport order, etc.
