You would request your entries into Canada from the CBSA: http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/agency-agence/reports-rapports/pia-efvp/atip-aiprp/thr-rav-eng.html

How long did it take for you to receive your report? I just ordered mine a few days ago. I take several trips to the US every year, so while my record keeping has been good, best to have the copy on me for the citizenship interview.

FOIA Usually takes few days up to few weeks. Depends upon request to request. It can take many months too. Hopefully you get it soon. Keep checking your email to get an update and once you get it, login to online website of FOIA and access the records from there.

If you want to get USA travel records, apply FOIA, if you want to get Canada travel records, apply CBSA

How would you prefer to receive the requested records? Is there any difference between electronic copy or paper copy in terms of time you received? Thank you.

For CBSA records: the report is usually sent by mail not by email and takes 30-40 calendar days to process.
