Canada Citizenship Calculator: Calculate Your Physical Presence

Did You arrive in Canada as a temporary resident or permanent resident

Please note every day of physical presence as a Temporary Resident or Protected Person counts as a 0.5 day credit and you cannot be credited for any more than 365 days of Temporary Residence or time as a Protected Person. Therefore, in order to get the maximum 365 day credit you need to be physically present in Canada as a Temporary Resident or Protected Person for 730 or more days during your eligibility period.
Arrival Date
Temporary Resident End Date(The date you became Permanent resident)
Enter the date you will sign the application. If you do not know when you will sign the application or are only checking to see if you are eligible, enter today's date.
Your application filing date must be today's date or any date after this. It cannot be a date in the past.
Enter the date you became a permanent resident of Canada (see Box 45 on your Record of Landing (IMM 1000), Box 46 on your Confirmation of Permanent Residence (IMM 5292 or IMM 5509) or the back of your Permanent Resident Card). *
*Did you leave Canada between 2018-01-26 and 2023-01-25? Answer 'Yes' if you left Canada for any reason including vacation, work, business, family matters, school, illness, etc.

Only the five (5) years immediately before the date of your application are considered for calculating the physical presence requirement.
Day trips, i.e., absences where you left Canada and came back on the same day must be declared.



You (and some minors, if applicable) must have been physically in Canada for at least 1,095 days (3 years) during the 5 years before the date you sign your application.
