Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't that supposed to be free of charge to access to our personal information such as CBSA entry/exit record?

If you are requesting the report under the Privacy Act (which you can only do if you are requesting your own information), you do not have to pay the $5.

The $5 fee applies only to requests made under the Access to Information Act.

Whether the request is made under the Privacy Act or the Access to Information Act, they have to respond to your request within 30 calendar days.

Yes, it's the same. If you request information for yourself you do it under the Privacy Act and there is no charge. If you are requesting information on someone else (with their permission), it would be under the Access to Information Act and cost $5.
