Hi everybody,
I have multiple visitor visa Canada and entered Canada just few days ago.
When I entered in Vancouver airport, I was fill Declaration card by kiosk with duration more than 160 days. (Because I think it is maximum time for visitor)
But, after that when I met a border services officer, he asked me about my travel plan and fixed duration on my Declaration Card from 165 to 25 days by a red pen.
But he did not stamp on my passport and did not give me any document.
So Must I leave Canada within 25 days? Can I stay longer than duration on Declaration Card?
Many thanks you all!

Did you tell the immigration officer your plan was to visit for 25 days or 165 days?

My understanding is that the rule is based on what is in your passport. No stamp, nothing written, means you have a 6 month entry.

Tks for your help.
When I met officer, he asked about my travel plan and i answered that it's about 25 days. And then he cleared 165 days duration on declaration card and written 25 days by his red pen on this place.
So how do you think about my case? What I should do now to know exactly about my status?
Thanks you.

Don't worry about it too much. It's what is in your passport that matters. If there is no stamp and no notation and you were not given a visitor record, you can stay the maximum.

He likely thought you mistakenly selected 165 and fixed the sheet.

You don't need to do anything. As said above, nothing in your passport = 6 months status.
