It was my understanding, after doing research and speaking with two Government of Canada CIC reps, that when a visitor enters Canada their passport is either stamped or stamped and hand-written.
A stamp with no hand-writing would signify a 6-month visit duration was allowed.
If there was additional hand-writing, it would indicate the visit duration permitted.
The CIC website even gives these two examples for the public to view.
My fiancee recently entered Canada on a TRV and had her passport stamped and written on.
The date written was six months from the date of entry!
Can someone please explain why this 'third' possibility was used at the point of entry?
TIA
