I am residing in Canada for last 29 years. In the past, I remember the officers at airport used to stamp passports when permanents return to Canada after visiting their countries. These days officers at airport do not stamp passports at airport anymore. Further, when someone gets landing in Canada, the officers at local offices do not stamp any more. If someone is renewing passport, you can not find proof of return dates in Canada. Why this decision is taken?

Yes. It is true that officer at the port of entry used to stamp the arrival dates on the passport of the permanent residents. These days officers stopped doing stamping on the passports instead they scan the passport. They used to enter information manually but now everything is scanned. Your arrival dates automatically get registered in the system. Now, on PR card renewals, you will get an additional sheet which will help you to keep record of your entries and exit from Canada. IRCC advise you to enter dates in that sheet while traveling so that you can keep record of dates which is required on renewal of PR card.
