I travelled to Canada many many times and not even once was I checked by the CBSA upon exiting the country. Maybe, this incident happened to you in a country that has outbound immigration control and which immigration laws you violated (you admitted you've done that numerous times)? And then you decided to extrapolate that experience onto Canada for a more dramatic effect? Or it never happened to begin with?
