Hi everyone,
I need to log a trip in my official travel history for my citizenship application and I am stuck on the exact date of return to input due to a midnight crossover.
My flight physically landed at Pearson (YYZ) at 11:50 PM. However, by the time I deplaned and walked to the customs hall, it was past midnight. My Primary Inspection Kiosk declaration was submitted, and my passport was scanned, on the next calendar day.
Since I want my application data to perfectly match the electronic log that CBSA has on file, which date should I use as my official "Date of Return"?
  • The date the flight touched down (11:50 PM)? or
  • The actual calendar date the kiosk generated my entry timestamp (after midnight)?
Thanks
 
When you landed, or when you entered Canada's airspace, doesn't matter.
You enter Canada the moment you clear the customs, and that's the date you're supposed to give.
