CBSA report

[LFer]

To anyone who can help

On the citizenship application that i sent, under "History of entries to Canada" it clearly says
"Please do NOT contact the CBSA to request you history of entries"

While many times in this forum i noticed people talking about how helpful it was to get the CBSA and how happy the cic officers were.. And that without it they would have probably gotten a RQ

I traveled a lot since i landed and there are couple of missing stamps on my passport which could arise suspicion..

Should I ask for the CBSA report to be on the safe side? What about what's mentioned on the application?

I'm expecting a letter for the test soon (Hopefully) and i'm getting prepared.... Any help is appreciated.

You can always request the CBSA report for your own purposes. It is your right. In fact, you should do it to ensure that it matches your calculator. I caught a couple where I arrived past midnight and it registered as the next day.

No need if you are sure about your dates. Regardless, no dont take it with you to the interview. They already have that info.

Someone on here said that in his case the interviewer did not have the CBSA report and was glad the applicant had it with him. I personally think that everyone, unless they have no travel, should confirm their dates by getting the report, and I also think that there's no harm in having it with you at the interview. It's better to have more information than not enough.

Also, there are many cases where people get an RQ and then have to rush to get their CBSA and foreign (such as U.S. CBP) reports, medical records, etc. Why not get such information ahead of time? It's free.

I wondered about that myself. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to have it on you in case they ask for it.

I would'nt have obtained a CBSA report if they stamped my passport correctly each time. And all the missing ones happen to be during entry back to Canada (I found out one of the stamps even appear on the back of my expired Work Permit, which is not attached to my passport).

CBSA report is the only thing that confirms my return dates to Canada (I didnt keep my boarding passes) ... so I believe you have every right to request it if you are missing entry stamps...

I did not order my CBSA report, and there was a missing stamp out of the 4 stamps of my travel. I had the flight ticket with me, and the interviewer took it and attached it to my application. I think it is better if you have the boarding passes, but as I said the ticket did the job.

Thank you all for your inputs... The thing is I traveled a lot (Work) and I didn't keep all my boarding passes or tickets... Believe I'm going to ask for the CBSA report anyway and keep it with me just in case...
Will order it from the date i landed to the date i submitted the application.

Why not ask for the report from the day you landed till TODAY. This way it shows you didn't travel even after you applied.

Quick Question,

Does the CBSA report include the entry and exit dates OR the entry only?

I just got a copy of the CBSA report last week. They only listed the entry dates. I was hoping that they would list the exit dates as well. I guess CBSA hasn't implement and force airlines to submit flight manifest yet like the US has done.

Do you think that they can track the exit by the declaration card you provide when you re-enter Canada?
OR this card is just for custom purposes?

It is no harm if you request your reports also you can take them with you for interview but don't have to mention unless there is some dispute
