TRAVEL HISTORY question

[Asivad Anac]

For the second reply, I am assuming you meant NOT a problem if I do not mention travel between Canada and my country of Origin, right?

Yes.

Hello All,
When entering travel history info is the format inclusive of the 'day' of travel or is it just the Month & Year (From & To) that needs to be input in the travel history section for all places visited in past 10 years? I am only trying to document my & my spouses' travel in advance on a spreadsheet; I am still at the EE profile creation stage awaiting WES evaluation, so I don't know what the actual form looks like for entering travel history info. I am only 4 years back and already having difficulties figuring out the actual 'day' of travel from the not so clear stamps in our passports.
Can anyone who has completed this process let me know please.
Thanks

Although it needs 'From', 'To' days but my guess is, you don't need to be very precise, or be mindful of day of travel or reaching the destination etc...as long as you mention the days that match the stamps on your passports, you should be fine.

Passports are not always stamped - at least not on return to our country of origin. My husband had multiple trips between Canada and the UK and the UK do not stamp on return. In addition, Canada did not always stamp his passport but sometimes stamped his work permit (which has since been renewed) so his passport stamps do not match his travel history.

Similar case to Scottygirl. 5 years ago I went on a holiday trip around Europe. It was with the organized tour group 'Contiki' My passport was only stamped in England and France. However I am mentioning that I went to Holland, Germany, Italy etc. I luckily have my original holiday tour tenantry which states 1 night in Paris, 2 nights in Munich etc. I will attach my itinerary as part of my LOE. I will have about 25 lines of travel in the last 10 years.

Hope this helps.

Don't worry, my hubby had around 35 lines! A wee tip - keep saving as you add the line, maybe after 10, as the session will time out and will not add the line and allow you to make a new entry.

Thanks all for the tips on travel history. My issue is that I lived in the British Virgin Islands for a few years and frequented the US Virgin Islands multiple times in any given month(1 day trips on the weekend etc) since it's a very short boat ride to the islands of St Thomas/ St John's. So I have a ridiculous amount of US entry stamps in both of our passports, and those stamps and aren't placed in any clear organized fashion. I'll give it my best shot though since a lot hinges on the accuracy of this info. Traveling is fun, until you have to go 10 years back and detail all the galavanting you've done
Thanks again you wonderful peeps!
+1 for you! +1for you! +1for you all!

Tell me about it! I used Facebook to try and figure out some of my dates. It was still hard though and took a good couple of hours to write them all down. My hubby's travel history was also different to mine so had 2 different lists! Have kept the piece of paper I wrote on - just in case!

Hello guys, need your help regarding travel history.
I have lived in 3 countries (Origin + 2 countries working)
For my origin (Spain) i am clear, all the trips i made from Spain, even there is no stamp in the passport, i remember them. For example:
02/2011-02-2011 3 days Oslo, Norway Tourism
04/2011-05-2011 7 days Rome, Italy Visit friends
[...]
Now the problem is in my next country of residence (China), where i was 1 year with tourist visa and 1 year with working visa (Resident).
During that time i went a lot of times to Hong Kong (I was a half hour trip, and i need it to go for different reasons as Visa renewal, consulate matters, tourism, etc.) I have many one day or weekend trip.
My question is, i have to include only the times i went to hong kong, or also when i came to china?
For example, i should just put:
01/2013-02-2014 370 days Shenzhen, China Work
02/2013-02-2013 1 days Hong Kong Visa Renewal
04/2013-05-2013 3 days Hong Kong Tourism
[...]
or
01/2013-02-2013 36 days Shenzhen, China Work
02/2013-02-2013 1 days Hong Kong Visa Renewal
02/2013-04-2013 52 days Shenzhen, China Working
04/2013-05-2013 3 days Hong Kong Tourism
05/2013-06-2013 30 days Shenzhen, China Working
[...]
*Like this during two years (Not including trips to my origin country)
My current country (Hong Kong) is easy, as i am resident here i only include trips to other countries are not my origin.
The problem is in my stay in China. Also i don't know if there is difference between when i had Working visa and Tourist Visa.
Appreciate if someone can help.

Do we have to include flight transfers? Even we do not leave the airport?
