Hey, you had that one or more stamps outside your eligibility that were not in English/French, right ? Did they ask about them at all ? Thanks
No, they only look at the stamps that correspond to the entry/exit dates that you mentioned in your eligibility period, and those were all in English for me. Also it looks like they only looked at the Canadian stamps (re-entry), not the ones in other countries

I have one questions from experts:

I do not have entry stamp to Canada for one of my trips from US. I do not know why! In fact I have the exist stamp from Canada (by US border) in my passport (because US border offices are in Canadian airports). But my return to Canada is not shown in my passport by neither US or Canadian border offices.

Could you please let me know if anybody else had the same issue?

I don't have stamps either because re-entered Canada on PR card and not with passport.

Then how will the officer decide on this by checking our passports in the day of interview?

They don’t need the stamps of you entering Canada. They need the stamps of you entering other countries

And even then probably just looking to see that there isn’t anything you didn’t include- that it matches up with your application.

Just got a request for fingerprints letter by mail today, but my ECAS is still not online (ie it still doesn’t “login” to anything and says I can’t be found).

Has this happened to anyone else?

I too don't have entry to Canada stamps for some of my trips on my passport, ever since Pearson airport implemented automatic Kiosks. For my last trip, I even requested the border agent to stamp my passport, but they refused saying it's no longer required. I think it should be fine.
