And I'm sure they'll charge you with a Indictable Offence for mutilating your passport if and when they discover it. You're a citizen of Canada, and expect to travel internationally; I think it's absurd that you think it's unfair for your government to know where you've been when they've issued you the very document that allows you to travel.
And by the way, all my comments were made AFTER I said that they were irrelevant, because you had a valid PRC.
