Hello,
i became PR in 2009, landed, spent a couple of months over the next 2 years, then came back in 2011 to settle "for good".
i have lived here in Canada for the last 3 years consecutively, cumulating approximately 80 days of absence since 2011.
Questions :
- the subject questionnaire indicates "Period to be assessed" in the Travel history ; my understanding of it is that, in a case like mine, i should therefore be able to indicate 2011-2014 ; since the first two years were spent abroad, and i do not wish to include them (nor have the couple of months spent here accounted for) - Correct ?
- following up on the above logic, i have many stamps in foreign language on my passports, which i have to translate obviously ; but i do not intend on translating anything prior to 2011, since again i consider the first 2 years "obsolete" - Thoughts ?
- any experience with certification of the colored copies of the passports ? Some tell me it has to be done ; my translator says she is certified ; others seem to have done without; supplying only translated copies, without specific certification (notary ...etc).
Thank you all in advance for your feedback.
Cheers.
