This Canada Immigration FAQ page from April 7, 2022, says:

How long can I stay in Canada as a visitor?

...

Most visitors can stay for up to 6 months in Canada.

If you’re allowed to enter Canada, the border services officer may allow you to stay for less or more than 6 months.

• If so, they’ll put the date you need to leave by in your passport. They might also give you a document.

•If you don’t get a stamp in your passport, you can stay for 6 months from the day you entered Canada or until your passport expires, whichever comes first.

...

Thus: because you didn't get a stamp in your passport upon entering Canada, you are authorized to stay for 6 months or until your passport expires, whichever comes first.
