Hi Spyfy I have a question please,

I was a protected person applicant for a year before my application got approved, does that count towards my time requirement?

I found no option for protected person applicant in the time calculator. there is only ''protected person''

I am trying to claim PRE-PR time but I cannot seem to remember the exact dates/duration of my previous visas (Student & Visitor), would CIC call centre be able to assist with this information? The new residency calculator is asking for time spent before becoming PR. Although I qualify without pre pr time, not sure if my application will be returned if I do not include the information

You need to include the information. You don't need the validity period of the student/visitor permits. You only need the dates of when you entered and left Canada.

Please can you help me with this?
We did NOT leave Canada at all since we came on a work permit. we left only once to do our landing through USA border, we did not have an entry visa to USA so we crossed the border and received a rejection letter and then turn back to Canada todo our PR landing. it took only one hour!
What should we enter into the calculator? date of leaving is the same as date of return? shall I add an explanation letter?

date of leaving is the same as date of return. simply use the 400 characters of "reason" in the calculator to explain.
