According to Ming Pao in Canada, China News Service, China's permanent residents recently headed south to the United States and returned to Vancouver. He found that the Canadian Border Services (CBSA) official at the airport had forgotten her China. The passport was stamped with admission stamps, which he feared would affect his future maple leaf card or naturalization.

Regarding whether there is no entrance seal equals no entry record, the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) notes that the record of each permanent resident remains in the CBSA system regardless of whether there is an entry seal on the passport. If necessary, it can comply with privacy laws. 》 (ACT) stipulates that the application record will take about 30 to 60 days.

Ms. Lin is a new immigrant who went to the United States a few weeks ago. This was her first trip to the United States since she obtained the maple leaf card. When she returned, she entered the country from Vancouver Airport. She also showed CBSA officials the maple leaf card and Chinese passport in accordance with regulations. Officials asked her in detail, such as which flight to the country, where she went, how long she had left, and even asked about her previous days when she left Canada, and how long she stayed abroad. After Ms. Lin answered the questions one by one, the official returned the passport and maple leaf card to her and did not specifically check whether the passport was stamped.

When she returned home, she found that her passport did not have this admission stamp. She believes that she may need these entries when applying for a new maple leaf card in the future. In addition, she heard from a friend that someone did not enter the country because of her passport. Chapter, applying for a new maple leaf card is denied, you have to appeal, the more you think about it, the less appropriate you will be.

Ms. Lin said she had searched online and could not find any instructions from the immigration department or the CBSA on whether there was an admission stamp or what to do. She also heard that the Immigration Bureau has recently strictly verified its entry records, which makes her think she has not entered. The problem in this chapter is "This issue is very important" and must be fixed as soon as possible. So, at the suggestion of a friend, I booked a ticket and went abroad again as soon as possible to get the entry stamp on my passport. Ms. Lin said that after checking the air ticket market at various locations, she chose to go to Mexico for a few days before returning. She said this time she will repeatedly confirm that CBSA airport officials did stamp their passports and will not ignore them again.

Is the entrance seal available, and will it affect the future naturalization of permanent residents or apply for a new maple leaf card? Will there be no complete residence records? Immigration Agency spokesman Bill Brown replied that even without entering the seal, the CBSA still has a permanent residence travel record. Under the regulations, the CBSA must obtain authorization from the applicant before providing the record to the Immigration Bureau for verification.

Brown said when reviewing naturalization applications, the Immigration Bureau will decide whether to require the CBSA to obtain authorization from the applicant and then obtain their entry records based on individual needs.

CBSA spokesman Esme said the CBSA entrance seal will only be stamped on foreign passports. So if someone only issues a maple leaf card when entering the country (such as driving on the ground) and does not submit a foreign passport, there will be no entry stamps.

However, she stressed that as long as there are maple leaf cards entering the country, people who have passed the CBSA inspection counter (line) to show officials any travel documents, such as passports or maple leaf cards are not, the CBSA has an entrance record if residents need proof They enter the country in the future or obtain entry records, they will last forever, they can apply under the Privacy Act, and the processing time will be approximately 30 to 60 days.

The CBSA only marks admission stamps on foreign passports and will not mark admission stamps on Canadian passports, according to policy. However, if a person thinks it is necessary, he can ask the official, and the official will also mark the Canadian passport presented. .
