I do not have all the US/Canadian stamps in my passport, does it matter?

[flamingteeth]

Hi all:

I have checked my passport, and found out that I do not have all the entry stamps in my passport.

[1] When I went to the US by road. and when my I94 form was still valid, the US boarder did not stamp my passport...

[2] When I returned to Canada by air, I chose the Self-Service boarder, (i.e. I swipe my PR card in the machine, not meet a real officer) there is NO Canadian entry stamp either.


Does this two matters??

Thanks a lot for this.

[1] - you can check your US entries using the link bellow (some people reported that you may not get all your entries using this website)
https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/request.html
[2] - CBSA should list all your entries to Canada

I tried this one already, but it does not give me all the entries. What I should do now?

I think I do not have to submit this information during my citizenship application, because I checked the box the authorize cic to access my CBSA information, right?

Thanks for this

You only need to submit a copy of the photo and bio info pages of your passport. CIC may come back and ask for copies of all the pages later on if they have issues.

As keesio mentioned, for your application you need only a copy of bio info pages of your passport...
If you wanna have a copy of your entries to the US and the website don't list them you can try to order the CBP record (through FOIA), the pb is that the processing time for such record takes very long time...

CBSA does not list all entries to canada. I have a missing record and I got an RQ. So it is now up to me to prove that I did arrive in Canada. Massive PITA.

Really??? Even CBSA does not list all the record to Canada?

There has been three times that I arrived in Canada by air, and I used to self-service entry, i.e. I have no stamp in my passport... If CBSA does not list my entry, what I can do ???

Is it advisable to include the pages of Passport containing exit/entry stamps of the last 4 years with the original submission of application OR should I wait till the interview for me to bring them?

Now it is a sensitive time, I would submit everything I have in hand.
