Didn't get visitor record

[john_henry]

My mom entered Canada 2 months ago as a visitor in 6 months. But she didn't get a visitor record in her passport like mine. I came to Canada as a visitor too (follow my husband) and I got a visitor record to allow me to stay until my husband's study permit expires. So I think my mom should receive the same record which indicate the length of her stay.
Does anyone experience the same? And should I contact CIC to ask?
Many thanks.

For how long is you visitor record? Your Mom was given the usual 6 months allowed visit (if she got just a stamp on her passport on her arrival in Canada).

Yes, my mom just got a stamp on her pp, nothing else. And 6 months is indicated in her visa only.
My stay was 3years, is that why I had a visitor record?
Thank you very much Job_seeker! Have a happy 2010!

Your mother was admitted for 6 months, if there is no date written under the stamp.  Any visitor admission over 6 months is documented.

Standard procedure is a stamp only.

You were given a visitor record because you are allowed to stay longer (for the same amount of time of your husband's study permit). I think you can also apply for an open work permit so you can work (if you wish to) while you are in Canada with your husband.

Thank you PMM! I didn't know that before. I thought all visitors should have the same record as mine!
Wish you a happy new year!
