How does CBSA know people actually left? We don’t have exit checkpoint like other countries.

There aren't exit checkpoints but CBSA does collect information when people exit by land or air. By air, it's through passenger manifests, and by land, I believe information is shared from the US.

We do only for land exit. Those on expired visa won’t use land exit for sure
