Bad idea to send all 147 pages of FOIA report in response to CIT 0520?

They asked for the whole qualification period, and that is how much the USA sent me. A bit freaked. Thank you!

Well, if they asked for your entry records, of course you would have to send all the pages that show entries into the United States for the indicated time period. If some of the report is for entries outside the time period, you do not have to send those pages.

Thank you, Al! That is what I am thinking too. It's specifically to match missing three dates from my overnights to the USA that my passport will not show. Thinking I could flag those pages for them to hasten things. I assume they are very expert in reading and sifting through these things, but I will send along a good detailed covering letter describing why I go back and forth so much (mostly to buy health foods I can't get here, and only for a few hours at a time).

I wasn't exactly saying that you only needed to send and highlight a few dates. If CIC requested your entries for (say) January 2011 until January 2015, you would send all the pages that show entries between those dates. If that's 147 pages, then you would send all 147 ages. The RQ will indicate what period they are interested in, so you just have to follow what is written there. It's not like you can hide your many crossings, because they will also show on the Canadian report as entries into Canada, and CIC has access to that information. However, yes, a cover letter explaining your crossings is a good idea.

actually you've misread my reply. I said this exactly. Cheers!
