CBSA Does Not Stamp Passports For Returning Residents Now

[Bavneet (Admin)]

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.
