Hi,

I'm filling out my travel history by piecing together all of my travels based on passport stamps and itineraries among my old emails.

However, I noticed that I'm missing a stamp from when I drove across the US border at Niagara Falls into Canada with my Italian passport. I've looked very carefully through all pages and simply could not find a stamp showing that I entered Canada.

This was back in 2010. Is it normal? Do they not stamp your passport if you drive into Canada?

Thanks

Is it normal. Your passport was scanned and recorded in CBSA database. Nothing to worry about. Just be consistent with your dates.

Yup, I drove to US from Canada once and the cbp officer didn't stamp on my passport.
And one another time the cbsa officer at Pearson stamped a wrong date on my passport.
But it's all recorded correctly in their electronic system after I asked another officer the next time what he saw on his screen.
