Passport stamping slammed
By TOM GODFREY -- Toronto Sun
Ottawa is being accused of "harassing" immigrants who are now required to have their passports stamped on returning from abroad.
Toronto immigrant groups and lawyers said the port stamp, which contains a date, will be used to find out how long immigrants have been outside Canada. If the time abroad exceeds guidelines then the person can have permanent residency revoked or be denied citizenship.

Sounds like a good idea to me... it's only 'harassment' to those who aren't really intending to be immigrants.
