The CBSA no longer stamps all passports at airports with Primary Inspection Kiosks.
If you need a stamp in your passport as a proof of entry into Canada you must request a stamp from a border services officer after completing a kiosk transaction.
If your passport is not stamped, you are only authorized to stay in Canada for up to 6 months from the day you initially entered Canada, or until your passport expires, whichever comes first.
If the border services officer authorizes a period of stay of some other duration, either more or less than 6 months, the officer may issue you a document and should stamp your passport indicating the date by which you must leave Canada.
I am a PR and after reading the above, I am confused.Is the 6 month thing applicable for PR as well?

If I am a returning PR entered by land through the US border, can I request the officer to stamp on my passport so that I have an entering date proof for applying the provincial insurance 3 months later. Or they only stamp on visitors' passport?
