Passport Re-Entry Stamps Question. Pls Help!

There can be any issue when you meet with the officer and this issue can definitely lead to RQ!!, try getting CBSA letter for your incoming information and also from US border department

Try to tell the officer honestly and keep your finger crossed

A friend of mine did her test last april, and another friend just last week. both of them had missing re-entry stamps back from the US in their passport. the officer just believed them and they didnt get an RQ on the test day. (the first one is already a citizen)

Ditto much of what has been said.

By the time of the interview and documents check, CIC has mostly determined the credibility of the applicant's residency declarations. By that point in time CIC is either leaning very much toward issuing RQ, or is not leaning that way.

If CIC is leaning toward issuing RQ, yep, even a minor discrepancy is likely to push things more so in that direction.

The key for the applicant who CIC has, to that point, pretty well given a passing grade, then, is that the applicant and the applicant's documents appear to be consistent with the applicant depicted, and the applicant's declarations, in the file.

Discrepancies can be problematic. Significant discrepancies are likely to cause RQ. How minor discrepancies affect things at that point probably varies, sometimes being more problematic, sometimes no problem at all. As I often say: It depends.

What it depends on is a wide, wide range of factors. I suspect the applicant's demeanor itself is a significant factor. How the applicant responds to seemingly casual questions (do you have a good grocery store near where you live? how is your commute to work? among many, many possibilities) can be a significant factor. And, of course, the overall coherency of the applicant's file makes a difference.

Does a substantial buffer of PP time make a difference? Less than many expect I think. And not for the reason that many think: the effect of a buffer, in case there is a missed trip in one's residency declarations, has more to do with overall impression and not with to what extent the applicant still has more than 1095 days of actual presence. 1095 is the threshold, the hard number. Ten or a hundred more does not change the calculation. What really matters, if there is a discrepancy, like a missed trip, is credibility and whether or not the discrepancy causes CIC to have a concern about the applicant's credibility, about the credibility of the applicant's declarations overall. If a minor discrepancy does not raise questions about the applicant's credibility, not a problem. If the discrepancy leads the CIC officer to have concerns about the applicant's credibility, does not matter if the applicant declared 1419 days of actual presence, a discrepancy inviting credibility concerns is a problem which significantly elevates the risk of RQ.
