I have 3 entries that are not stamped on my passport flying to Canada from abroad, do you think this is common too?

Hi MrBravo,

It's ok if you declared them correctly, actually almost all your entries to Canada will be on the CBSA report ( in my case, only one was missing from my report..but i declared it on my citizenship application).

Stamps are just the tip of the iceberg - what counts the most is what you declare and what they know about you, if for instance there is something you didn't declare and it shows in your passport ( not USA stamps...but any other foreign country where you can't possibly go for a day trip....) then you will have trouble, otherwise, just be sure to be extra precise about your trips whenever you can and you will be OK

this is always common.....I fully believe that this depends on the person who is assessing ur file....if they cross out something and raise a flag than u will be asked for more proof.....I remember she was checking off all the absence list from the list I provided initially...

Hey Farrous13!

Yes, it is very easy and it takes around 30 days and ... it is for free ( Under Privacy act) : here is the procedure : http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/agency-agence/reports-rapports/pia-efvp/atip-aiprp/req-dem-priv-eng.html

I suggest that you send everything by Email for faster processing!

Yeah I hear ya. Better be safe than a very expensive sorry eh ;D ;D ;D

No news bro, I have stopped calling the call center now. Everytime I call they roll me back in time. I am afraid if I call again, I might hear that my application is no where to be found and not in the system :-X :-X :-X

Anyways, as of now no RQ. No clue about file transfer as well. One agent said it was done last week of December, other two says still in Sydney. Dont know whats right.

Well we will see. Will keep you updated

Well, it can be anything! From the request of a simple photocopy of a passport to an RQ.....

Do you have any objective reasons in mind that would make you receive an RQ ?
