Travel History: Layover without Stamp

[DerangedRabbit]

For reporting travel history in PR application, is it necessary to report layover in a country, other than country of origin or Canada, if the principal applicant's passport was not stamped for that country? For example, if the principal applicant's country of origin is Thailand, but they had layover in Hong Kong and did not receive a passport stamp at the Hong Kong port of entry, is the PA required to report this?

Layover doesn’t count as travel history.

Would it be that difficult to include that layover? IMO if you exited the transit zone, it's better to include it in the report. You never know where do IRCC get their information and I don't remember having read anywhere in the official forms that "layovers do not count". In my application I treated every uncertainty in the definition against myself, not in favor. Of course you can later argue that this was "not a travel"...
