How this count works

Recorded arrival and departure dates count as days in Canada. The counter does not check whether you held permanent resident status on those dates.

Days before becoming a permanent resident may not qualify. Some time abroad can qualify. During the first five years after becoming a permanent resident, the assessment considers whether the required days can be completed by the fifth anniversary. This total cannot confirm that the residency obligation is met.
