RQ discussions.

They are not supposed to tell you the results of the test. Read the document linked in this post (here), it has a section with a call center agent speaking about test.

I applied for US border reports in August 2012 and got only an acknowledgement letter, no response with entries/exits. It might takes years to get this information. As far as I know you're only required to submit this document if you have travel documents to US. VISA is not considered a travel document. Canadian PR card does consider to be travel document to Canada for example.

It depends on a personal situation, as for some applicants, e.g. with frequent crossings living near border CIC can explicitly ask to submit US CBP records, but for an average applicant with a visa waiver passport or a multiple entry multi-year visa with several trips to the US it may be nice to have.

US CBP records are usually quite full and accurate, plus on top of entry/exit report one can request I-94's, custom declaration forms and PNR's (records from ticket reservation systems) in the same request. If especially full and accurate, along with passport stamps and CBSA records, they can provide a neat reference for confirming absences and cross-checking strengthening travels declaration.
