It is from my understanding that the number of travels don't matter as much as the reason
why you travelled there and what the reason for the
frequency of the trips. Multiple trips to the same country may be easier to verify and background check than single trips to multiple countries. Plus, if you visited certain countries (
let's not start naming or assuming any countries here, for the sake of civility) that the Canadian authorities believe represent a threat to Canadian security or societal values, then those trips would be further scrutinized. If you've given your valid Police Certificates and have been upfront about any issues you've faced with visa authorities, then you shouldn't needlessly worry. After all, it's their country and their people first and foremost! We must respect the process that they undertake to ensure that the people they let in don't do anything to endanger that kindness
EDIT: Serious stuff aside, FSW-Outland, nearly a month after the BIL, BCG is still "We are processing...". Had two emails back to back: one on the 8th Oct saying that I have a message (which was BIL) and then on the 9th, an email saying that account was updated, and medicals were passed when I logged in. No clue where I'm at at the moment IP stage wise.
