One advice needed: Use only online physical presence calculator?
I would strongly suggest keeping your own using excel or any other similar, so that you have your own copy and can keep it running with count of days, etc. (It can be printed or pdf printed whenever needed).
I have a running with simple formula that counts days. It has more columns than strictly necessary so that there is no confusion between departure/arrival days and days inside/outside Canada (i.e. it counts both days inside and outside correctly and very clear what needs to be recorded).
Columns are:
Trip info | Day of departure | first day outside | last day outside | Day of return | Days outside | Days inside (to previous) |
The excel formulae are simple arithmetic really.
Two notes:
-I haven't written the formulae for same day or next-day trips, b/c not needed in our case.
-The way I do this is the 'day of departure' column is populated with the 'today' formula, every time a new trip is done, just over-write the today in the next row and sums can be done simply for running totals.
I'm not at all attached to this particular set-up, just providing as an example - roll your own to your own needs.
