Travel history report

[Dana.D]

Has anyone tried asking for their travel history report from CBSA?
-How long did it take?
- what info did you provide? Was PR card only or passports number as well?
- were the records accurate? Did they include every exit and entry or were some of them omitted?
Thank you

Yes. I requested travel history from CBSA. It took about 2 months and I provided PR card and Passport Biopage.
Records were accurate.

You can request it here. When you proceed, choose CBSA as your organization and clearly specify your request. Name, UCI#, dates of request and mode of border crossing. I have done it back in Aug 2020 and received it in a week. If you are a PR, you are eligible to request this information for free. Otherwise, it will be 5$. You will get your records down to the Seconds and this is the same information IRCC will have access to, to adjudicate any of your immigration requests.

Were they entry or exit records? Or both?

I have more than one travel document, do i provide both or just PR card us enough?
And do the records include entry and exit?

Have you travelled by air or by car??
Just curious as our passports neither stamped at exit, nor we do go through any online exit system so how do they maintain exit records? The only possibility is to get from the airline which seems unlikely. Moreover if they have exit records then why do they ask for passport stamps, medical records, job history etc to ensure that person was really present in Canada?

I haven't seen any exit records for the one's left via flight to countries other than USA. US does pre-flight inspection in Canadian airports, so exit records are shared with Canada. Same way entry to USA via land is transmitted to CBSA and they mark it as an exit record.

Thanks for the confirmation.
That's what I knew but I thought may be CBSA has figured out some method to track all the exits and people will be relieved from going through all the hassle to submit bunch of documents to prove their presence in Canada.
