Travel History on PR Application

[kit23]

I have lived in Canada for the last nearly 8 years. (I'm a US Citizen, I was living abroad before coming to Canada)

On my PR application, it asks for all the trips I have taken outside Canada (tourism, business etc)... What if I have gone across the border to the US for day trips like shopping/visiting? I have been on so many of those the last few years, I can't possibly remember which dates I went. Do I need to report these, or do I have to call Canada Border Services to ask for this information?

Many thanks!

You have to report each and every trip. All the international trips outside Canada / home country will have stamping on the passport with dates, you can get travel info from there.

I also made a trip between Canada and home country, and reported that.

I don't get stamped each time I drive across the border since I'm a US citizen. That's why I'm wondering if I really have to call CBSA and ask them for that info.

There is a website you can access for trips to the US, can't remember the address but if you google you will find it.

It covers the last five years.

Can we actually call CBSA? Cause I'm sure I'm missing 3-4 trips to US (less than 24 hours) when I also didn't get stamps. I was planning to write a cover letter saying that I made my best to figure our all my 1 day trips to US but missing some

Definitely useful for a lot of people, but apparently this doesn't work for US citizens living in Canada what a pain!
I did some searching and it seems like I have to actually request for it online through CBSA. Takes up to 30 days!
Might phone in tomorrow to double check though.

Oh right, totally didn't read your original post!

I'm under the impression that travel from your home and Canada don't need to be listed. Maybe someone can jump in here?

Do you guys know if I have to put to my travels my original entry to Canada on my student visa? I'm on a postgrad now. There is no end date of this travel if I put it :-\

Hi. Do we need to report all the job related trips and in which sections?
