Passport stamped in December....is stamp still valid?

[Eric Parker]

I went to visit during Christmas in December, 2008. I know that I have 6 months from that December date for staying in Canada.

However, I did come back after Christmas vacation to my home in the States. Is that stamp still valid for entry into Canada, or do I need my Passport re-stamped with a new stamp (I plan to visit again im May) since I may have invlidaded the old stamp (from December 2008) by coming home to Oregon?

As always, please respond and thanks to all

Once you leave Canada the entry stamp expires, so any new entry begins the clock again.
