UPDATE :
My spouse and I received the email to take the citizenship between Jan 27th and Feb 16th.

Question from experts and people who have already given tests : Do we need to register somewhere first and book a date or when we are ready (studied the test guide) we can just click the link (in the PDF of the test invite email) and sign-in and give the test within the 21 days?

Thanks and best!
MS
Yup when you are ready go to the link, login, get the test link, follow the instructions and start the test.

I just need some guidance that how I will calculate my physical appearance in Canada before I proceed with citizenship application in August 2023?

Scenario:

As I got my first PR card in Feb 2016 while inside Canada, and then stay here for another 08 months and then left Canada.

I came back to Canada 6 months before the expiry of my fisrt PR card ie: August 2020

Afterward I stay here in Canada and my time of 1095 going in complete in august 2023.



I have two questions:

Q1: They took almost two months to issue me the 2nd PR card after expiry of Ist PR card, while I am in Canada so those two months are also including toward my physical appearance or not? Because I have no status during that period as I applied for renewal of PR card.



Q2: How I do this calculation using online calculator as they start calculating from the date of landing ie Feb 2016 and only consider last 05 years before signing the application.



Your comments are highly appreciated. Thanks

When your PR card expires you still maintain your permanent resident status, the valid card is mostly needed for travel and stuff so it should not be an issue, please read https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1456&top=10

I believe you for your physical presence calculation you only need to account for any stays outside the country in the past 5 years, if you are unsure of the exact days, you can request a travel history report from the Canada Border Service Agency, which will give you an exact list of dates of entry into the country, you’d still need to figure out the dates you left to know how many days you were gone, I did this myself by finding all my emails for my boarding passes to locate the dates I traveled, here is how to request a report https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/agency-agence/reports-rapports/pia-efvp/atip-aiprp/thr-rav-eng.html

I hope that helps

Thank you for you reply!

I see you already gave the test. How did you prepare for the test. The test guide is making me snooze. Any tips and tricks?
:p :)
