Do Canadian entry stamps normally show a length of stay or "admitted until" date?

Accepted answer

Does the lack of any indication of a period of entry mean I was authorised for the full 6 months?

Exactly so! If given less, the exit date was written.

I say "was" because Canada doesn't stamp passports anymore.

Yes that what it means. You can stay in Canada for 6 months. That is based on my personal experience.

You are allowed to enter Canada as a visitor for 6 months. If the officer authorizes a stay of less than six months, they will indicate in your passport the date by which you must leave Canada.

If you want to stay longer than your authorized stay, you should apply for an extension at least 30 days before the authorized end of your stay.
