Post ITA - Travel History Question

Hi

I arrived in Canada for doing masters in Fall 2011 and now I am working here after completing my masters. Should I include my arrival to Canada in the travel history?

Thanks

I had the same concern. I include my Canadian study and work record in my travel history since it's out of my original country. But I'm not sure if it's necessary. I don't think it's a bad thing to give them as more information as you can as long as it's true.

From what I understand, travel history includes trips outside your country of origin and country of residence. When you arrived in Canada, you actually changed your country of residence.

Not required. Canada has become your country of residence.

You should make sure to include your change of residential address in the address history, though.

Generally:

Moving somewhere (including a to different country): Include in address history
Traveling (and returning to your country of residence): Include in travel history

Thanks for the quick response. I had the same idea in my mind, just needed some external validation.
