I just received my CBSA report by mail. I am submitting my Citizenship package next week.

Obviously the CBSA report only contains the entry dates through Pearson Airport and does not contain the exits I took (as there is no immigration desk outband in Canada).

I have many stamps in my passport. So, how should I use the CBSA report? Should I include a copy of this report or should I include the original? I wanted to keep the original for my interview date.

I sent a copy of mine as I was not sure if I would have enough time to get another one before test. To CIC is the same, if they would like to order a new one they will do that anyways.

I would suggest you send a photocopy with your application and keep the original for your interview/test.

its usless to sent cbsa report. As upfront.as they do cbsa check after test. They will need fresh one from you at the test. Better to get it by the test.

it help to approved that the applicant have lived in the country for more than 1095 and what he claimed on the application is consistent with the record of entries. so i still think, n strongly suggest to submit with CBSA report.

Although I'm one of those willing to send the report with the application, I would like to clarify something here. It doesn't"help to prove the applicant have lived in the country for more than 1095 days. for instance it shows you entered Canada on june 20th. Ok but how long ago did u live Canada???? on week?? one months ?? 10 months?? The CBSA doesn't answer this question.

Yes, it is a legitimate question how CIC would know from entry date one lived in Canada for 1095 days. I think only credible residency proof will be CBSA report + Entry and Exit stamps in passport from the destination airport. Most countries airport does stamp in passport for entry and exit both. So, if an applicant has both proof, should send together to eliminate any doubts from CIC officer mind..
