How often does this occur?
How important is a stamp in your passport when you enter Canada on a TRV?

What should be done about it, if anything if they did not stamp your passport?
How, when, where?

Thanks.

It's routine. A stamp isn't needed. You don't do anything.

Sometimes, your return flight ticket can help. Also, your exit and re-entry stamps from home country/residence on the passport if any. Alternatively, you can request for your Travel history report under ATIP for entry and exit note from CBSA. Immigration is trying to make most travelling record electronic. The link below explain everything : https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/agency-agence/reports-rapports/pia-efvp/atip-aiprp/thr-rav-eng.html

If you want proof of travel, you keep it as long as you need it. It isn't hard.

You could has asked when entering. You can't go back to CBSA and ask for an entry stamp now.

"If you need a stamp in your passport as a proof of entry into Canada you must request a stamp from a border services officer after completing a kiosk transaction."

I am not sure there is one. In this case, all you need is to contact your travel agent or download your flight confirmation, where it will indicate when you flew to and return from Canada. Also, most embassy will be able to confirm your visa with Canada visa issuance office. If your concern is future application to Canada, IRCC will with your consent verify from CBSA that you travelled to Canada and return.
