Hi,
When an officer asks how long a Canadian PR has been outside of Canada at the land crossing, do they already have this info coming from the US side (US entry info) and just want to double-check? Or, would they need to request this from US side and, if yes, how long does it take for them to get the info? When you answer how long you have been outside of Canada, and, let's say, you don't name the exact date you left (cause you forgot and there's no stamp in your passport), do they record this info - at least in some cases?
There has been a long-standing discussion on entry-exit tracking b/w the two countries, but has it really been implemented?
The question is: If there are no stamps in the passport, is it possible to track when a person left Canada for the US and when this person returned?
Thank you
