Hello everyone,

Whoever has the experienced the following situation, please reply:

When a person enters Canada and goes to automatic kiosk and scans PR card, does the CBSA officer stamp the passport if you use the automatic kiosk?

Thank you, did the CIC officer during test/interview asked about the stamps? how did your interview go and when are you expecting your oath?
Yes, she went through every single stamp(in the period of reference) on my current and old passports. Stamps outside the period of reference (FROM "4 years prior to application date" TO application date) are instantly ignored. Not only stamps, but visas, and passports issuance dates as well.
I had 3 undeclared entries on the CBSA record(were not mentioned in my residency calculators), because they were same day trips to the US, good thing I had the I94 record with me, she took it. All in all, interview went fine. She said expect oath in 4 months.

Great! My best wishes with you.

When you had three missing entries (same day trips) on CBSA record and you have not mentioned it on the residence calculator as being a day trip then why did you tell that info to the officer or gave the i94? Is it because those three missing entries showed up on your passport as a usa entry stamp?

Of course, he can answer...but, I think what he means is that they showed on the CBSA report as entries into Canada, but he had not declared them on the residence calculator. So, the officer asked about them. We declared all trips, even same-day ones (living in a border city, there were a number of them), just to be safe. And, we have the U.S. and CBSA entry reports in case they are needed to support all absences.

Yes, that's exactly what happened.
