There is "the law" and there is what really happens.

I have never heard of anyone actually asked for their paperwork in Canada,
and those surrendering it (per the "law" ) when exiting Canada have often
been met with confused or interested comments like "wow, never seen one of
these before, eh.." from the Canadian authorities.

Has anyone on the list every had their Canadian entry paperwork looked at by
an official in Canada?
