you can get this report here

http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/agency-agence/reports-rapports/pia-efvp/atip-aiprp/thr-rav-eng.html

it take 30 days to get it. But remember always get this report before applying not after you have applied or it may delay your application as they say on website. I got this report 2 months before applying. This report shows entries to Canada in their system and all exits records to USA only via land border.

Neverthless its a good idea to get this report to make sure entries to canada are correct as per your record.

One can also order FOIA records for usa trips to make sure entry/exit to usa are same as per your calculation
Hi
I've applied to get the FOIA records from the US. Do you have any idea of how long they take to process the request?

Thanks mickey... with the report in hand, do you also authorize CIC to get the travel history or not?
Off course yes. this report is for your own records. I tell you one more trick. Once you have got this report and every entry matches with your own calculation as per your passport you can also include this report with your application as I did myself.

Thanks for the reply. Looks like the timeline varies from about a week to a few months. I noticed that the I94 records and format have been updated. It very much more accurate now. Few of my missing trips are now shown in the new I94 report.

Waiting for my FOIA records to compare now...

Thanks, but that's 2014
Last few posts are from 2017. According to the last post, it took the guys 5 months to get his FOIA. I've applied about a week back. Let see how it goes.

"5 months to get his FOIA" Wow!

From other forums, have you found what would be considered an appropriate amount of trips to warrant the need to request a travel history report?

I haven't checked other forums. The reason I applied for the FOIA report is because its suppose to be more comprehensive and accurate compered to I94 records. I have a missing record(US exit) on my I94 report. I don't want to apply for CBSA report now as it may delay my application. I have also collected lot of documents to support my presence in Canada for the day in question, just in case I'm prompted during the interview.
