Travel History attached to passport

I'm wondering if there is a record somewhere of everywhere you have ever traveled? Seems like there must be, but I've looked for a while and it doesn't seem to be a thing.... For instance, for immigration purposes to Canada, they ask for every country you've ever been to, the dates (to the day) that you entered and left. Is there such a thing?

Unless you have kept such a record yourself, no, there isn't. Who, other than you, could possibly keep such a record?

The stamps in your passport will provide a partial record, but I'm sure you have crossed many borders without having your passport stamped (or even inspected) and of course there are borders which you don't need a passport to cross (like the Ireland/UK border).

Canadians mustn't be big travellers if they think that's possible

of course there is a record kept. why do you think Israel / certain Arab countries won't let you enter if you previously been to the other.

Clearly individual countries keep records any time you enter/exit and it also well know that certain countries (five eyes) etc also share / sell that data to strategic partners.

Because those are the types of countries which stamp your passport when entering and leaving so they can see the other guy's stamps.

Otherwise.......... when you say 'there is a record kept', are you suggesting that if I enter Saudi Arabia tomorrow and go to Israel in a few months that the Israeli border cops will know that I was recently in Saudi Arabia because the Saudis let the Israelis access their immigration database?

If your passport visa pages are blank, nobody knows which other countries you have been to other than their own.

No one knows what countries you've been in. I doubt even G2 or Mi5 know how many times Slab Murphy has travelled between the uk and Ireland, and he's up on trial in the special criminal court. There's no record of border crossings of people in the Schengen zone; and I doubt anyone in Baarle-Nassau knows how many times they've moved between the Netherlands and Belgium, because its like asking how many times you've been to the shop in your life there

In fairness, he only had to go to the bathroom to run up his count on this one.

Who knows? Google knows, if you use Gmail and an Android phone, or Apple if you favour their products.

Maybe recently... I can't see Google or Apple telling you where you visited 25 years ago.
