Keep track of Travel History - CIC tool

[Joshua1]

For those who will be applying in the future, the tool below should be useful and prevent unnecessary RQs

This is from CIC:

"As a temporary or permanent resident, it’s a good idea to write down your trips outside Canada by air, land or boat, including day trips to the United States. You’ll need this information when you apply for a new Permanent Residence card and when you apply for citizenship.

The travel journal is an easy way to record trips outside Canada. Keep it with your passport or other travel documents. This is not an official document and we don’t need to see it. It’s just to help you remember your trips. You won’t need to send it to us with your application.

Download the travel journal

What to record

• The date you left and the date you came back to Canada, even if it’s the same day
• Countries you visited
• Why you left – give examples like vacation, work, family, etc.
• Include any day trips (less than 24 hours), including to the United States
• When the journal is full, keep it safe and print a new copy"

I got this with my renewed card recently; I don't think this thing existed 5 years ago when I got my first card.

I wonder where else CIC thinks you can go on a day trip from Canada except the US, let alone including the US!

I can think of Mexico, some western Caribbean countries, Bermuda etc... You surely can get return flights on the same day. Did it once.

Saint Pierre and Miquelon is pretty close too.

And the "including to the US" means including trips to the US.
