What is the travel history for a Canada visa?
A Travel History Report is a record of a traveler's arrivals, departures, or both in Canada. This information is gathered by the Canada Border Services Agency.
The retention duration for a Travel History Report is fifteen years.
On June 30, 2013, the CBSA began collecting traveler departure information on foreign persons (excluding American citizens) who entered the United States from Canada. The CBSA began collecting exit information on all travelers (including Canadian and American nationals) in the land mode on July 11, 2019 and will continue to do so in the commercial air mode on June 25, 2020. Exit data may also be accessed via the Travel History Report.
Highway Passage Reports can also be obtained; however, they just show that a certain license plate has been registered and do not reveal who is driving the car.
Information collected for Travel History Reports
The records for both Entries and Exits include:
- Name
- Date of birth
- Citizenship
- Gender
- Date of entry
- Location of the port of entry, and
- Any travel-related document numbers, such as a passport number.
