Applicants filling out the travel history section of an Express Entry or PR application sometimes only have entry/exit stamps for some of the countries they visited on a single trip (e.g. a multi-city Europe trip), and aren't sure how to declare the countries with no stamp.
What group members advised:- Declare every country you actually traveled to, with dates, regardless of whether it has a stamp. Many countries — especially within open border zones like Europe — don't stamp passports at every crossing, so a missing stamp doesn't mean you skip declaring that country.
- You're still considered to have been in that country even without a stamp, since border-free travel between certain countries doesn't leave a paper trail. If you're worried about the mismatch, add a Letter of Explanation noting that your passport wasn't stamped at every stop, along with the dates for each country you visited.
The key principle: your declared travel history should reflect where you actually went, not just what's stamped in your passport — use an LOE to bridge any gap.
