Canada immigration tracks your information when you exit or enter
Channel: Amarjot Singh

The following temporary residence application types can use entry and exit data

temporary resident visas
temporary resident permits
visitor records
work permits and work permit extensions
study permits and study permit extensions
electronic travel authorizations (eTAs)
Entry and exit data can be used to identify whether a foreign national has previously exceeded their authorized period of stay in Canada.

Overstay monitoring begins upon a traveller’s entry into Canada and ends upon their exit. If the client has overstayed their visit, CBSA will indicate this “overstay indicator”, and it will appear as a checked box in GCMS once queried.

Once a sufficient number of air carriers are on-boarded (targeting November 2022 as latest date), overstay indicators will begin appearing within the Entry/Exit search results for temporary residents who have overstayed their allowable time in Canada. This will prompt IRCC officers to make an informed determination on select temporary residence applications.
