Officers in Canada forget to Stamp passports when entering Canada

[mrbravo]

has anyone encountered this issue? I travelled 7 or 8 times and there were 3 times where the officers forgot or was too lazy to stamp my passport. I didn't notice until i applied for Citizenship. Would this have a negative impact on my application especially at the interview? I have received the CBSA report to prove that I entered Canada on those dates. do you thing this enough proof? has anyone experienced this scenario during the citizenship interview?

your help is greatly appreciated

Until you have your CBSA report and you gave them the authorisation to request for one, you should be fine.

Is it common that the officers don't stamp the passport in Canada? would the CIC officer believe my story at the interview? I already have the CBSA report on hand and it has got all the correct entry dates.

Please advise?

thank you very much

Yes, especially at the land border.

For one of my family members it was opposite: no entry in CBSA report, but there was a stamp in passport.

I have the same story, it happened at Calgary airport, I didn't notice that until i applied for Citizenship.
I requested CBSA report and I am still waiting the result

Yes exactly this happened to me at Calgary airport. I noticed they are all like that which is weird. I never travelled through land borders. It had always been through Calgary airport. But my question is: do CIC understand that this is common through airports as well or not?

It happened to one of my family members
didn't affect her application to renew PR when expired
i don't know about citizenship application

It doesn't matter, they enter your info in their system and it'll show, same if you use the passport and PR scanners they have now. They don't check the passport either on the way out, yet they know that data because the airlines share it with CBSA

Obtain the CBSA ATIP report using privacy information act - it takes 6-7 weeks.

Helped me resolve my missing stamp problem.

Missing stamps are now the norm esp. in pearson with the automated machines.

I do not know,but I hope they understand that!

They do...that's why they request clearances from CBSA

Border records aren't always complete and can be misleading. The increasing reliance on these records against other evidence of residence is concerning.
