Hi all,
so I've recently submitted my e-APR (FSW Outland), and I'm waiting to get the Schedule A request.
The situation is, my family and I are thinking about travelling abroad for the New Year holidays, and so I have some questions:

1. do I need to notify CIC (via CSE?) if we do travel abroad? Now or after I come back?
2. should I just wait to get the schedule A request and mention the trip there, without the CSE?
2a. what if they request the schedule before we travel, but after I get the visa for my trip? Technically, I haven't gone anywhere yet, but I do already know the dates of my future trip...

Right now I'm thinking of just mentioning it in the Schedule if they request it after I come back, or not mentioning anything in the Schedule if they request it before the trip as nothing has happened yet, and sending the info via a CSE when I come back.
But - what if a miracle happens, and I get a PPR while abroad? I will need my passport to travel back home - how much time do we have to send the passport?

not necessary if u ask me..
if u r asked for a schedule a after travelling the u shud add it there with a small note saying u travelled after aor so it was not part of initial submission..

Thanks for you reply!

I was just thinking - imagine everything goes ok, I get a PPR, send my passport, and then suddenly they see a new visa there that was not mentioned anywhere in the application...
I'm hoping it'll be simple and I get the schedule requested after I come back.

I have the same thing, I travelled on the same visa once. Did you submit any CSI before or after the travel? I am also worried if in case of PPR and they'll find out that I have travelled after AOR / e-APR without informing them. Pls advise me. Thanks

DId you send a CSI for this (with all the stamps on passport) or you just waited for PPR and send your passport to them without any action?

i didnt do anything. just waited for ppr and then sent my passports for visa stamping.
i was not asked for an updated schedule a (probably bcos there were no gaps in my dates), didnt file any case specific enquiry for travel updates and didnt even request gcms notes for app status :)

they didnt seem to hav any issues with my travel after submission of the app.. i got my visa stamped, and travelled in april '16 to complete my landing.

i see. thanks for this info. I think I dont need to update them as well. My Background check turned into IN PROGRESS and until now I havent received any additional docs request. My local visa in the Philippines also sent me a "Pre-arrival services email" which I could say a positive sign.

On a related note.. If my wife goes back to India for an extended period in order to have our baby (after submitting eapr) What should I do then? We currently live outside India.

Will we need to provide another PCC for India?

im sorry but i dont really know the answer to this...
i suppose that if the length of her stay falls under the criteria for pcc requirement then u wud hav to.. cos this cud possibly fall under 'change of residence'..
but i suggest u ask this to the senior forum members for their opinions..

Could someone help me please?

After getting my AOR (May 12, 2017) my wife went to US 2 times. One in May and the other one last week and just returned. Should I raise a CSE and inform CIC about her trips and attached her passport with such stamps on it? Could you advice how to proceed.
