Hi

I saw these example sentences in one blogger.

a) This is my first time I came to Toronto.​

b) It is my second time we ate at this restaurant.​

Are they correct?
Shouldn't they be corrected like these below?

Revised a) This was my first time I came to Toronto.​

Revised b) It was my second time we ate at this restaurant.
​

Thanks in advance.
