Does anyone has information about biometric passport? Do Canadian immigration at border or at airport keep the record of person who enter Canada?

An e-passport is known also as biometric passport.

According to Canada Passport website Canada's new enhanced ePassport will be available to all Canadians as of July 1, 2013. It looks like a traditional passport book, but it contains an electronic chip that is encoded with the same information found on page 2 of the passport (surname, given name, date of birth, place of birth and gender). It also includes a digital picture of the bearer's face. Considered to be the gold standard of travel documents, ePassports contain an electronic chip that enhances the passport's current security features.

Some 95 countries, including the United States, France and the United Kingdom, are already issuing ePassports.
