Stamp or Not at POE

[nmatter]

Hi

I have a question :

what's the difference having a stamp on passport when entering Canada vs not having stamp?

I am asking because at POE my passport was stamped but no date was mention (I assume my stay is valid for 6 months) from the date of entry.

thanks

You get six months if no date is written.

You get six months if no date is written.

Thanks for info, also I read here some time they did not stamp so I was curious in which case they do this?

When they don't want to, mostly. Large airports with lots of arrivals, where they have a primary inspection line with no booths, and only hte second line has booths.
