Hello,

I was on a bus trip in Europe and even though the trip destination was Switzerland, on our way our bus has crossed several other countries. All of the countries we crossed were in EU, so there are no stamps on passport or any other kind of record. Do I need to mention every country we crossed on our trip in the Travel History form?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for prompt reply. Is it "no" because we did not stay long enough in each country, or because there are no stamps?

You were just passing through. Nevermind the stamps. Express Entry system is intended to record only your "departure and arrival country" ! There is no place to enter all the countries you have passed through and imagine the complications this would cause... anyway, answer is no for several reasons.

Hey how about transit countries do we need to mention ? No stamp but left the airport for
A city tour arranged by the airline .

If you entered the city (through transit visa or exemption based on your passport) and not just transit within the airport, then yes, you will have to include this in your travel details.

Should we include an LOE for why there is no stamp on passport ?
