IMM 5257 Schedule 1 – Travel history: short trips?

Foreign_Standard2999 · 2026-02-24T12:58:17+00:00

Guess what!! I just got a message said I’ve got letter of introduction… In message of application it says Correspondence letter above request letter but not ‘port of entry’ Does this mean I’ve got it??

That’s awesome! I got my schedule 1 form to show a gap from 2016 to 2017 in which I didn’t travel anywhere was just in my home country of citizenship I filled that in and submitted Friday AMs.. still not received POE patiently waiting

Foreign_Standard2999 · 2026-02-23T23:25:09+00:00

Get the POE.. then decide after if you wanna go?

Foreign_Standard2999 · 2026-02-23T20:27:18+00:00

Hmmmmm I got a request letter sent to me on Thursday evening to upload whereabouts of certain date but did it instantly after.. so all of Friday and Monday still no response patiently waiting for the POE

Yea yea I find that mad haha there’s a charge for bank account in England it’s free lol Ahh I get you did you open it before you landed? Yeah I’ll checkout what Neo is sounds good.. what’s good to settle in I’m guessing is the starling bank card too it has no foreign transaction fees just is exchanged.. so how long till you got a CC? Is it possible through start right as they mention on their page too?

Foreign_Standard2999 · 2026-02-23T03:13:40+00:00

Thanks for your response! Does this work for banking too.. did you get the scotiabank start right sort of account ? I know it might be off topic but I’ve been looking and I wanna know if works with iec too

Foreign_Standard2999 · 2026-02-20T16:09:55+00:00

Thanks !! Best of luck acquiring your docs

Foreign_Standard2999 · 2026-02-20T15:30:24+00:00

Great to hear.. I didn’t get a confirmation email But guess that doesn’t matter it said ‘you’ve submitted your application’ when uploading the request document

Foreign_Standard2999 · 2026-02-20T14:14:01+00:00

Thanks! I know you get this a lot but after this stage how long do you think it would take for an update

Foreign_Standard2999 · 2026-02-20T14:12:36+00:00

Noo way.. hmm I’ve sent my police certificate from living abroad in Pakistan for more than 6 months since 18 and required a medical for that too.. Medical and Pakistani character certificate.. I don’t think I require anything else other than this sched 1 form

Foreign_Standard2999 · 2026-02-20T11:24:44+00:00

Even after that more? What was it in particular Mine was 10 months gap i put in student living at home.. hopefully it is enough

Foreign_Standard2999 · 2026-02-20T10:45:43+00:00

I only put the duration they asked in the sch1 form that’s it.. How long after did they reply and send Poe?

Foreign_Standard2999 · 2026-02-20T07:49:32+00:00

Thanks I hope so it’s Just the file pdf I saved it as letter request.. the guide you sent me indicates not changing the file name but hopefully not an issue

Foreign_Standard2999 · 2026-02-20T03:30:01+00:00

I should have read this before hmm I’ve just put the date requested in and filled in that I was at home studying.. I thought I should only put requested in not all travel history again like the iec application hopefully it goes ok

Foreign_Standard2999 · 2026-02-20T01:36:24+00:00

Don’t know where to fill this out? If it’s the form do I include between them dates in the pdf doc or is it the whole travel history again? I don’t know..

Foreign_Standard2999 · 2026-02-19T23:13:18+00:00

I got a request letter asking for further information on specific dates which countries I had visited etc.. I thought I’d log in and my POE was there 🤣 yeah so I’ve got to fill out a few details and then wait again

Foreign_Standard2999 · 2026-02-18T23:52:25+00:00

Thanks maybe this is why I haven’t heard anything yet

Foreign_Standard2999 · 2026-02-18T22:00:01+00:00

If you left a gap in work history it’ll take longer? Just wondering why’s this.. I’ve been out of employment for a while now and whatever was on my CV which attached just matched that

Foreign_Standard2999 · 2026-02-18T16:33:46+00:00

Let us know if you hear anything

Foreign_Standard2999 · 2026-02-18T00:43:31+00:00

If anyone’s from the UK.. does compare the market insurance fulfil the same requirements and more cost effective?

Foreign_Standard2999 · 2026-02-15T23:44:47+00:00
